In this sense, it will enable the analysis of the epidemiological profile and the transmissibility variables of patients with HIV/Aids from the municipality of Imperatriz-MA. Method: This is an observational cross-sectional study. Data collection was performed from the analysis of patients’ records registered in the Center for Testing and Counseling (CTA) from 2017 to 2020. For data collection, a questionnaire with transmission variables and epidemiological characteristics of patients was used. Results: From January 2017 to December 2020, 211 medical records were filed. Of these, 71.6% were male, 55.5% of the participants were between 21 and 40 years, and 66.4% from Imperatriz-MA. The most prevalent type of exposure was sexual intercourse without a condom. Among the participants, 83.9% (n=177) were positive only for HIV. About 140 people with HIV had an undetectable viral load (VL) (< 50 copies/ml) after 6 months of using antiretroviral therapy, making it low transmissibility. Conclusion: The study was able to characterize the epidemiological profile of patients from the Specialized Assistance Service (SAE) in Imperatriz between 2017 and 2020. Despite the increase in the number of cases among women, the most affected public remains young men, from 21 to 40 years of age, with 8 to 11 years of education, single and brown. Sexual intercourse without a condom is the main type of exposure. 2024 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570477720002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720002/570477720002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720002/movil 10.17058/reci.v14i1.18161 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.14 |
