ABSTRACT
Gender inequalities influence the quality of reproductive health care in many ways. The lack of gender sensitivity in the provision of activities related to illness prevention and health care, as well as women's difficulties in controlling their own sexuality, are fundamental aspects of this problem. Two recent studies carried out in São Paulo, Brazil, examined factors associated with the use of methods to control fertility and to prevent STDs/AIDS. Both studies identified a strong resistance to extending the use of barrier methods among the female population, even though doing so is particularly important to help contain the spread of HIV/AIDS among women in this country. Findings include that gender-sensitive strategies must be developed to stimulate the process of behavior change. These strategies should be combined with holistic approaches to women's health care, so that prenatal and gynecological care, family planning, cervical cancer screening, and STDs/AIDS prevention are included within the same program.
