OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess performance in sexual and reproductive health of primary health care services of the Brazilian Unified Health System, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS An evaluative framework was built for sexual and reproductive health with the categorization of 99 indicators in three domains: sexual and reproductive health promotion (25), sexually transmitted infections/AIDS prevention and care (43), and reproductive health care (31). This framework was applied to assess the services responses to the questionnaire of Quality Evaluation of Primary Health Care in the Municipalities of São Paulo State (QualiAB), in 2010. Percentages were calculated for positive responses to indicators and performance in the sexual and reproductive health dimension, according to domains, and their contribution to the overall score in sexual and reproductive health (Friedman), relative participation (Dunn), and correlation (Spearman) was verified. RESULTS Overall, 2,735 services participated in the study. They were located in 586 municipalities (distributed throughout the 17 regional health departments of São Paulo), of which 70.6% had fewer than 100,000 inhabitants. The overall average performance of these services for sexual and reproductive health is 56.8%. The actions are characterized by: prenatal with adequate beginning and exams, better organization for immediate rather than for late postnatal care, and selective reproductive planning for some contraceptives; prevention based on specific protection, limitations in the prevention of congenital syphilis, in the treatment of sexually transmitted infections, and in the screening of cervical and breast cancer; specific educational activities, with a restricted vulnerability approach, focus on sexuality over reproduction. The domain of reproductive health has greater participation in the overall score, followed by prevention/care and promotion. The three domains are correlated; the domain of prevention/care has the highest correlation with the other ones. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of sexual and reproductive health in primary health care in the services studied is incipient. The revision of the purpose of the work, the dissemination of technologies, and the investing in permanent education are needed. The evaluative framework built can be used by the sexual and reproductive health program services and management in primary health care, thereby contributing to their actions.

ABSTRACTSexual violence represents an important parcel of violence cases in our society, and exerts great impact over the victims’ health, such as, physical and psychological traumatism, transmissible sexually diseases and unwanted pregnancy. The objective of this study was to identify victims’ characteristics of sexual violence attended at a hospital of Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil. The research was a retrospective, documental, descriptive and quantitative study, from January 2004 to June 2007. Most of the victims were female single student adolescents. The data of violence revealed that most cases occurred at night, on public roads and under serious threat. In many cases the rape was consolidated and the majority of attackers were unknown. It was concluded that the sexual violence aims to the woman as a main victim, what it characterizes to a gender question related the woman’s condition of subordination to the man. Thus, it is the great importance the health professionals’ role in the human care, in the suitable register of the attendance and in the support to these victims. Descriptors: sexual violence; women victims of abuse; attendance.RESUMOA violência sexual representa parcela importante dos casos de violência em nossa sociedade, e exerce grande impacto sobre a saúde das vítimas, como traumas físicos e psicológicos, doenças sexualmente transmissíveis e gravidez indesejada.

A pesquisa foi retrospectiva, documental, descritiva e quantitativa, correspondendo ao período de janeiro de 2004 a junho de 2007. As vítimas, em sua maioria, foram adolescentes do sexo feminino, estudantes e solteiras. Os dados da violência revelaram que a maioria dos casos ocorreu durante a noite, em via pública e sob grave ameaça. Em muitos casos o estupro foi consolidado, e a maioria dos agressores era desconhecida. Conclui-se que a violência sexual tem a mulher como principal vítima, o que caracteriza uma questão de gênero relacionada à condição de subordinação da mulher ao homem. Portanto, é de suma importância o papel dos profissionais de saúde no atendimento humanizado, no registro adequado do atendimento e no apoio a essas vítimas.

Abstract Introduction The Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are a Public Health problem concern Worldwide. They not only have a direct, but also an indirect impact on sexual Health in afflicted person's life, as they facilitate the sexual transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated 6,3 million new Syphilis infections out of 376 million STIs (95% CI: 5,5-7,1 million). The worldwide prevalence of Syphilis is 0,5% (95% IC: 0,4-0,6). WHO is also concerned about Brazilian syphilis rates infection, since its sexual transmission increased from 59,1 cases in 2017, to 75,8 cases out of 100.000 persons, in 2018. Objectives Demographic analysis, incidence and prevalence rates of syphilis among recently HIV diagnosed Adults in a Center of São Paulo, Brazil Patients and Methods A Cohort Study in a population of 576 persons recently HIV diagnosed from September/2013 to July/2019. The rates were obtained by performing a nontreponemal test: Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) Results Epidemiological analysis from 576 persons: 53,3% were Caucasian, 80% were Men who have sex with Men (MSM), 49% had more them 3 occasional partners, the average age was 30 y.o. and the median age was 28 y.o.18 - 65). Prevalence of Syphilis: 16,3%. Incidence rate: 9,6 persons/year. Conclusions considering that the STIs including syphilis, facilitate HIV transmission and also other STIs, we need to perform a stricter ISTs surveillance in the sexually active population, mainly in MSM to reduce all the STIs including HIV. Key messages Demographic analysis, incidence and prevalence rates of syphilis among recently HIV diagnosed Adults in a Center of São Paulo, Brazil. The Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are a Public Health problem concern Worldwide.

Tillandsia usneoides is an epiphytic bromeliad that has been used as a universal bioindicator. The species accumulates metals and presents foliar scale variations when exposed to air pollutants. This study aimed to use the variations in foliar scales as microscopic markers of pollutant effects in the Metropolitan Region of Campinas (MRC), São Paulo State, Brazil. T. usneoides plants were exposed for 12 weeks during dry and wet seasons, totaling four exposures, at five sites in the MRC. Samples were selected before each exposure for initial evaluation of the plants (T0). Leaf fragments were fixed in glutaraldehyde and total scale density and anomalous scale percentage were evaluated. Plants exposed in the MRC showed anomalies and changes in number of subperipheral cells of leaf scales. When compared to T0, T. usneoides presented higher total scale density and anomalous scale percentage at disturbed sites, thus the species can be used as a pollution bioindicator for MRC.
