Institutional Documents
The Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) was authorized by the State Department of Public Health (Sesap/RN) through the State Program IST/Aids and Viral Hepatitis
inserted in the context of the agreement signed by the Bipartite Intermanagers Commission No
560/10 – CIB/RN and the Specialized Care Service for Pregnant Women and Children Living with HIV/AIDS – Maternal and Child SAE
which consists of a combination of two antiretrovirals (tenofovir + emtricitabine) is a new method of preventing contamination by the HIV virus and is distributed free of charge in pill format by the Ministry of Health
Prophylaxis will be dispensed through the Specialized Maternal and Child Care Service (SAE MI) of the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD)
operating at the Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (Anita)
one of the ISD units in the area rural Macaíba
The drugs that make up PrEP block certain “pathways” that HIV uses to infect the body
the delivery of medication will take place from this month onwards for people who meet the specificities and who live in one of the municipalities in the 3rd Region
4th Region or 7th Region of Health (see list below)
According to ISD's infectologist preceptor
PrEP is aimed at individuals who may have sexual intercourse considered to be at risk for HIV
PrEP must be taken daily and does not replace the use of other means of preventing HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
“We will cover and enable more points of care for patients eligible for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV
there will be greater publicity about this HIV prevention strategy
PrEP is one of the prevention strategies for HIV
but it does not prevent the contamination of other sexually transmitted infections
the use of PrEP and condoms; not sharing syringes when using drugs
Individuals interested in using PrEP through Instituto Santos Dumont should be aware of the eligibility criteria
when the delivery is authorized by the infectologist doctor
is preceded by an outpatient consultation in which a questionnaire must be answered by the patient to support inclusion in the program
Services related to PrEP will be concentrated on Wednesdays
Thursdays and Fridays at the Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (Anita)
Appointments should be made through the number: (84) 4042 0033 / 4042 0044
This new health service at the ISD will be one more possibility for trans women
cis women with a serodiscordant sexual partner for HIV infection (when one has and the other does not have HIV infection) to plan a pregnancy assisted by a multidisciplinary team
with the aim of reducing the risk of contamination of the baby as much as possible
all reproductive planning actions for serodiscordant sexual partnerships
This service is already carried out at the ISD for pregnant women living with HIV or who are partners of people living with the virus”
the team responsible for PrEP is made up of infectologists Carolina Damásio and Manoella Alves
obstetricians and gynecologists Larissa Rodrigues Freire
Sandrégenes Maia and Thaíse Lopes; by the preceptor social worker Alexandra Lima; Danielle Alecrim
biochemistry pharmaceutical preceptor; and by nurse preceptor Monise Pontes
HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is a new method of preventing HIV infection
It consists of taking a pill daily that allows the body to be prepared to face a possible contact with HIV
the individual prepares himself before having a risky sexual relationship for HIV
PrEP is a combination of two drugs (tenofovir + emtricitabine) that block certain “pathways” that HIV uses to infect the body
the medication can stop HIV from taking hold and spreading in your body
But be careful: PrEP only works if you take the medicine every day
there may not be enough concentration of the active substances in your bloodstream to block the virus
How long does it take for PrEP to start working
After using the medicine 7 days for anal intercourse and 20 days of use for vaginal intercourse
Important: PrEP does not protect against other Sexually Transmitted Infections (such as syphilis
chlamydia and gonorrhea) and therefore must be combined with other prevention strategies
– Women in the coverage area* of the SAE MI of the Santos Dumont Institute with indication of PrEP** (trans women
cis women with serodiscordant sexual partner for HIV infection);
– Family planning in: cis women who want to get pregnant and have an HIV-serodiscordant sexual partner; trans men who want to get pregnant
It is indicated for those who are at greater risk of coming into contact with HIV
You should consider using PrEP if you are in one of these key populations:
Gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM);
Often fails to use a condom during sexual intercourse (anal or vaginal);
with someone who is HIV positive and who is not on treatment;
Makes repeated use of PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis to HIV);
It presents frequent episodes of Sexually Transmitted Infections.In Natal
through the Institute of Tropical Medicine (IMT)
Look for a health professional and find out if you are indicated for PrEP
and pick up your medication for free every three months
