Resumen
Objective: to analyze the trend of AIDS incidence coefficients and possible points
of changes in adults aged 20 to 59 years in Brazil from 2010 to 2017. Method:
ecological study of temporal and local series, with data referring to the period from 2010 to
2017, collected at the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System and on the page
from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The cases were divided by regions
in Brazil, gender and age group, and to analyze changes in annual incidences by
gender and age group, a joinpoint regression model was used. Results: AIDS
showed a growing trend among males aged 20 to 29 years in
Midwest, Northeast and North regions and remained, for the most part, stationary in the
other age groups in both sexes. Conclusion: the need to strengthen
Primary Health Care in its role in preventing HIV infection, as well as
early detection of seropositive cases and initiation of treatment before reaching
AIDS stage; and to expand access to specialized services in other regions beyond
of the Southeast and South. Prevention actions and guidelines aimed at the male audience
should be stimulated, and also discussed in the school environment, on an ongoing basis, with
young people.
