Abstract
Objective: Evaluate HIV control measures in Primary Care. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, carried out with 163 nurses from the Primary Health Care network of the eight Sanitary Districts of the city of Recife-PE. A questionnaire was used to verify the sociodemographic and professional profile of nurses and a validated questionnaire for health professionals to assess the control activities of HIV/AIDS in Primary Care. Results: It is observed that 85.9% of the units “always” perform prenatal care at an opportune time and 95.1% “always” request serology for HIV at the first consultation. Specific training was made available in the last year to 47.2% of professionals. It is noteworthy that 58.9% “always” have materials for rapid testing and only 35% have enough condoms to meet the demand of the units. Conclusion: HIV control actions show satisfactory results in assisting pregnant women. Greater investments are needed in training and in establishing the flow of supply of condoms and support materials for the operationalization of HIV control measures in Primary Care.
