We aimed to identify the indidual vulnerability profile of the LGBT population ling with H\/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and correlate it with the treatment situation.\r\nMethodology: This cross-sectional study included 510 LGBT people living with HIV (PLHIV)\/AIDS who attended the Complex of Chronic Communicable Diseases of the municipality of S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 do Rio Preto, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, between 2008 and 2015.\r\nResults: There was a predominance of indiduals who were white (70.2%), male (98.4%), single (87.1%), aged 25\u201344 years (70.0%), educated up to high school (47.7%), economically acte (91.2%), under treatment (80.8%), having CD4 &gt; 350 cells\/mm3 (77.1%), and having undetectable viral load (53.3%). HIV transmission was mainly sexual (97.0%) and most people used drugs (76.5%). There was a weak correlation between the variables \u2018in treatment\u2019 and acte occupation (r = 0.148, p = 0.001), single marital status (r = 0.128, p = 0.004), white race\/colour (r = 0.117, p = 0.008), high school education (r = 0.111, p = 0.012), sexual transmission (r = 0.222, p = 0.000), drug use (r = 0.087, p = 0.049), and CD4 &gt; 350 cells\/mm3 (r = 0.118, p = 0.008); and strong correlation between the variables \u2018in treatment\u2019 and undetectable viral load (r = -0.937, p = 0.113).\r\nConclusions: The characteristics of the indidual vulnerability of LGBT people involve, among other aspects, issues of gender and social exclusion, a situation that is part of the daily life of PLHIV\/AIDS in many scenarios and territories. This can be alleviated with a network of social and health support and effecte and efficient, protecte, attitudinal, and behavioural public policies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3855\/jidc.13707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]],"date-time":"2021-11-11T21:50:32Z","timestamp":1636667432000},"page":"1481-1488","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Vulnerability of the Brazilian LGBT population in HIV treatment"],"prefix":"10.3855","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6303-3892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thaisa Fernanda","family":"Louren\u00e7\u00e3o Tauyr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1240-4702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciano","family":"Garcia Louren\u00e7\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5283-6323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Am\u00e9lia","family":"Zanon Ponce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7905-9990","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco Rosemiro","family":"Guimar\u00e3es Ximenes Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6110-619X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria de Lourdes","family":"Sperli Geraldes Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8627-9713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nat\u00e1lia","family":"Sperli Geraldes Marin dos Santos Sasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3061-0355","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Silvia Helena","family":"Figueiredo Vendramini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2222","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,31]]},"container-title":["The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jidc.org\/index.php\/journal\/article\/download\/13707\/2648","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jidc.org\/index.php\/journal\/article\/download\/13707\/2648","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]],"date-time":"2021-11-11T21:50:32Z","timestamp":1636667432000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jidc.org\/index.php\/journal\/article\/view\/13707"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,31]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,31]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3855\/jidc.13707","relation":{},"ISSN":["1972-2680"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1972-2680"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,31]]}}}
