Abstract This article aims to discuss the expectations of Homosexual Men, Bisexual Men and a Transgender Woman, who use or want to use an oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) about PrEP modalities. Sixteen PrEP users, who are followed up in the BCN Checkpoint, were interviewed,. The interviews were audio-recorded, subjected to thematic categorical analysis within the theoretical framework from the praxiographic perspective. They are all adapted to the use of daily oral and event-based PrEP. In relation to the new PrEP modalities (monthly pill; intramuscular injection every two months; subcutaneous injection every six months), they are all very receptive to these possibilities, but they lack information on the specificities of each and specific assessment of their needs. Comments about the use of oral PrEP are positive, and expectations regarding the new PrEP modalities are visibly high. However, the most important thing for the interviewees is the guarantee that they will have follow-up appointments to continue taking care of their affective-sexual health, which is not dependent on the type of PrEP modalities.

Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo discutir las concepciones de los Hombres Gay, Hombres Bisexuales y una Mujer Transgénero que usan o quieren usar profilaxis previa a la exposición por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana oral (PrEP) sobre nuevas vías de administración. Fueron entrevistados 17 usuarios del BCN Checkpoint. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas en audio, sometidas a análisis categorial temático teniendo en cuenta la perspectiva praxeográfica. Todos están adaptados al uso de la PrEP diaria y a demanda. En relación con las nuevas vías de administración (PrEP inyección intramuscular cada dos meses; pastilla mensual; inyección subcutánea cada seis meses) todos son muy receptivos a esas posibilidades, pero les falta información sobre las especificidades de cada una de ellas y una evaluación específica de sus necesidades. Tanto la satisfacción con el uso de PrEP oral, como las expectativas sobre las nuevas vías de administración son positivas. Sin embargo, lo más importante para los/a entrevistados/a es la garantía de que tendrán seguimiento para continuar cuidando de la salud afectivo-sexual, lo que no depende del tipo de vía de administración.

Neste artigo discutem-se significados atribuídos pelos familiares e profissionais sobre alta de usuários de Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) da Bahia e de Sergipe, no Brasil. Utilizou-se o modelo teórico-metodológico de Sistema de Signos, Significados e Práticas. Realizaram-se grupos focais com profissionais de diversas áreas e com familiares dos usuários. A análise dos discursos gerou duas categorias: alta como desintensificação do cuidado e o CAPS como ponto de ancoragem após a alta. Concluiu-se que os significados atribuídos à alta entre os entrevistados, independentemente do tipo e do município, evocam as mudanças percebidas nas trajetórias concretas de vida dos usuários a partir da sua inserção no CAPS. Embora haja, entre os entrevistados, o temor de desassistência com a alta, identificaram-se associações promissoras em torno deste processo, em termos dos efeitos do modo psicossocial em substituição ao modo asilar, relativas às novas possibilidades de laços sociais.

In this article, we discuss signs and meanings assigned by parents and professionals to discharge in users of Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) of Bahia and Sergipe, Brazil. We were inspired by the Model of Signs, Meanings and Practices. We have done focal groups with professionals and with user s parents from different areas. We have discussed the results through two categories: discharge as de-intensification of care and the CAPS as an anchor point after discharge. The meanings referred to discharge by the interviewers from all the localities studied have mentioned the fears, but also the perceived changes in the concrete trajectories of life of the users since their entrance in the CAPS, which give support for the concretization of both categories. Although, we can see, among the users, the fear of abandonment after the discharge, we have also found promisors expectations related to the psychosocial mode of operation compared to the asilar one, and reference to new possibilities of developing social ties.
