No. of bitstreams: 1 Vinicius Cabral.pdf: 1807111 bytes, checksum: a112a8be4d2f25628ef8e0cdf4e4f09f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-03-25 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The research comprises as the spaces of death are represented by travestis and female transsexuals who actually lives in the State of Paraná. Space is part of heteronormativity. In turn, it is the general idea that structures the alleged linearity between sex, gender, desire e practice sexual. People like transvestites and transsexuals female transgress the rules established socially and suffer a range of sanctions that make it difficult their existence. This group is the most vulnerable to violence and death of LGBT people. Vulnerability to death also establishes how travestisand transsexuals female are their social representations of the city, especially those they recognize as spaces of death. Social representations are understood as common sense speeches establishing a set of significations around the space, bringing this paper to the concept of space as a text to be read and interpreted by specific social groups. In the case of this research, travestis and transsexuals who have female vulnerability to violence and death. For the construction of this dissertation we performed eight in-depth interviews with transvestites and female transsexuals who at that time resided in the state of Paraná. The stimulation of discourse about space and death was accomplished through the use of news on this topic, conveyed in newspapers online. The interviews were analyzed using content analysis which enabled founders recognize the meanings of social representations created by travestisand transsexuals on the relationship between space and death. Social representations imposed by the group bring the idea of increasing violence, blaming the group for their own condition of marginality and also brings the territory of prostitution as a possibility for life and simultaneously the risk of death. / A pesquisa compreende como os espaços de morte são representados pelas travestis e transexuais femininas residentes no estado do Paraná. O espaço é parte integrante da heteronormatividade. Por sua vez, ela constitui a ideia geral que estrutura a pretensa linearidade entre sexo, gênero, desejo e prática sexual. Pessoas como travestis e transexuais femininas trangridem as normas estabelecidas socialmente e sofrem uma série de sanções que dificultam sua existência. Este grupo é o mais vulnerável à violência e morte da população LGBT. Sua vulnerabilidade à morte institui também a forma como as travestis e transexuais femininas constituem suas representações sociais sobre a cidade, notadamente àqueles que elas reconhecem como sendo espaços de morte. As representações sociais são compreendidas como discursos do senso comum que instituem um conjunto de significações em torno do espaço, trazendo para este trabalho a noção do espaço enquanto um texto a ser lido e interpretado por grupos sociais específicos. No caso desta pesquisa, das travestis e transexuais femininas que possuem vulnerabilidade à violência e morte. Para a construção da presente dissertação foram realizadas oito entrevistas em profundidade com travestis e transexuais femininas que, naquele momento, residiam no estado do Paraná. A estimulação do discurso sobre espaço e morte foi realizada por meio da utilização de notícias sobre este tema, veiculadas em jornais on line. As entrevistas foram analisadas por meio de análise de conteúdo que possibilitou reconhecer os significados instituidores de representações sociais criadas por travestis e transexuais sobre a relação entre espaço e morte. As representações sociais instituídas pelo grupo trazem a ideia de violência crescente, culpabilizando o próprio grupo pela sua condição de marginalidade e, além disso, traz o território da prostituição como possibilidade de vida e simultaneamente o risco de morte.

Predictors of Condom Use Among African American Transgender Young Adults

Oden, KaSaundra Mankins 01 January 2015 (has links)
Despite the continual prevention efforts in the United States, an estimated 1 million people are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and 25% of them are unaware of their infection status. There are no national surveillance data available on the incidence or prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the transgender population; this absence of data is a matter for concern. Guided by the health behavior model and social cognitive theory, this study utilized a quantitative approach to examine the associations between HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes regarding HIV/AIDS and condoms, and condom use self-efficacy as predictors of condom use in African American transgender young adults--one of the most disenfranchised and marginalized groups at increased risk for HIV infection--in the District of Columbia. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and chi-square analyses were used to analyze the research questions. There was no statistically significant relationship found between the dependent and independent variables at last intercourse with a steady partner. However, there was a statistically significant relationship when predicting condom use in the last 30 days and last 6 months with a steady partner. There was a statistically significant relationship for predicting condom use at last intercourse and intercourse in the last 30 days among nonsteady partners. There was no statistically significant relationship found between the dependent and independent variables at intercourse in the last 6 months with nonsteady partners. The findings could inform public health practitioners to develop and implement programs targeting African American transgender populations; the findings could also reinforce the public health policies and practices in favor of this cohort.
