Abstract

Sexuality is part of the life of the individual, is visualized as a set of expressions or actions of the human being, so as to take the whole phase of life by being associated with various factors such as biological, psychological and social. Homosexuals omit their feelings not to create conflicts with the people around them, thus accepting a pattern set by society and repressing their true sexual condition. Sexual initiation is a significant event in a young person's life, most young Brazilians have their first sexual intercourse or homosexual or heterosexual prematurely, adolescents with homosexual practices live in situations of greater vulnerability to diseases due to several factors around them. Thus, the present study proposes to analyze the perception and sexual behavior of male homosexual academics of the Federal University of Mato Grosso University Campus of Sinop on IST/AIDS. The study composes the quatitative method cross-sectional study. Data collection was done through a semi-structured questionnaire composed of 17 open and closed questions, addressing sexual perception and behavior in relation to IST/ AIDS. The results of the present study showed that sexual behaviors of homosexual students are still many factors associated with the risk of contracting some IST/AIDS. Such as early sexual initiation, multiple partners in the last twelve months, non-regularity in the use of condom use during sex, high alcohol use prior to sexual intercourse, all these factors make these students vulnerable to IST/AIDS, as to the knowledge and ways of transmitting IST/ AIDS was satisfactory in the present study, however, the level of knowledge does not ensures the change in behavior, it is also necessary to change the behavior of these academics.
