Numerous surveys in the country have shown feminization syndrome and placed married women in this risk group. Given these considerations, this research aimed to investigate whether the city of Itabuna the married women are also the ones that have been more contaminated. In addition, we attempted to raise the socioeconomic profile of these women and how they deal with the certainty of infection.
