Abstract
"Las extensas consecuencias de la pandemia del VIH/SIDA, además de la mortalidad directa, son bien conocidas. De manera adicional a la caída en la esperanza de vida, la epidemia ha producido varias consecuencias en las estructuras sociales y en la productividad económica, afectando de manera adversa a esferas enteras de la sociedad, como los sectores educativo y agrícola. Existe la tentación de considerar la relación entre el VIH/SIDA y la pobreza como algo lineal, es decir, como si la pobreza condujera a una mayor vulnerabilidad frente al VIH/SIDA y que, por tanto, fuera sufi ciente mejorar las condiciones de vida con el fi n de prevenir nuevas infecciones por el VIH. Es verdad que la pobreza puede ser un determinante de VIH/SIDA. Pero sin menospreciar la urgente necesidad de ayuda económica para muchos seres humanos, no deberíamos pensar de manera simplista que aumentar los recursos económicos es «la solución mágica» contra el VIH/SIDA. El VIH/SIDA no es necesariamente ni exclusivamente «una infección y enfermedad de la pobreza». Los niveles educativos y socioeconómicos altos se asocian también con mayores riesgos de VIH/SIDA.Es preciso enfatizar la prevención, redoblando los esfuerzos para lograr los cambios en el comportamiento sexual que reducen la transmisión del VIH. Por orden de prioridad, recomendando a los jóvenes la importancia del retraso de la edad de inicio de las relaciones sexuales, la monogamia mutua entre quienes tienen relaciones sexuales y, para quienes no acepten estas medidas de «evitación del riesgo», el uso de preservativos como medida de «reducción del riesgo» advirtiendo siempre que nunca podremos eliminar del todo dicho riesgo de contagio con esta medida. Han demostrado ser elementos clave en el éxito de varios países, como ya se ha comentado". ["The widespread consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic are well known; besides the obvious reduction in life expectancy, the epidemic has caused a decrease in economic productivity that has in turn affected entire sectors of society, including agricultural and educational fi elds. There is a tendency to associate HIV/AIDS with poverty. In other words, an increase in the poverty rate correlates with an increase in the probability of HIV/ AIDS. This would seem to suggest that if the conditions of society could be improved, the spread of new infections could be checked. Although this may sound attractive, and may even be thought necessary and just, it would be a mistake to consider that a reduction in poverty is suffi cient to prevent HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS is not necessarily, nor exclusively, «an infection and a disease of the poor.» Indeed, people with high economic and educational status have also been linked with a higher risk of developing HIV/AIDS. Prevention should be emphasized, taking into consideration that if this approach is to work there should be a change in current sexual behaviour. In order of priority, teenagers should be recommended to delay having sex. Partners should form a relationship based on trust and faithfulness. Lastly, those who do not accept these preventive measures should be advised that the use of condoms may «reduce risks» but not eliminate completely the spread of the disease. All of these preventive measures have been demonstrated as key aspects in the fi ght against HIV/AIDS in several countries. No country has been able to reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS relying solely on the promotion of condom".]
