RESUMO

The implementation STD/AIDS prevention activities into primary health care (PHC) facilities is proposed in Brazil and internationally since the 1990s. Understood as a sustainable strategy to amplify the coverage and access of such activities, its among the priorities of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. This study evaluates the implementation of STD/AIDS prevention activities into one primary health care (PHC) facility organized by the Family Health Strategy, located at the São Paulos metropolitan region. It assumes that the potential of such implementation will be higher in PHC facilities oriented towards comprehensive care. Its an evaluative research, through an in depth case study, using semistructured interviews and direct observation of the activities of USF. Results show that the FHCF technological organization doesnt differ significantly from the traditional Brazilian PHC facilities Individualize medical care determines the work organization and prevention is limited, basically, to standardized orientations, as in the sanitary education model. Specific STD/AIDS prevention orientations are delivered in some of the FHCF preexisting activities; the activity specifically implemented to STD/AIDS prevention is the testing for HIV, syphilis and hepatites B and C. The findings indicate that the dominant technological characteristics limit the potential for comprehensive care, particularly damaging the preventive activities done through dialogue and that require singular approaches. However, the execution of some actions to prevent STD/AIDS, as well as its recovery plan in discursive, indicates potential for integration. The implementation process may introduce in the daily work of these facilities some complex questions and new values and, therefore, it may tension the predominant health care model, contributing to the building of new and better technological models oriented towards comprehensive health care. We consider that the challenges to concretize, in the prevention activities, the values that orientate the ethical and normative plan of the Brazilian response demand a bigger investment on the technological definition on these activities, as well as in their implementation process
