- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the epidemiological profile of individuals affected by AIDS in Brazil in the period from 2009 to 2019. Methods: epidemiological study, with sampling of all AIDS cases diagnosed in Brazil present in the Notifiable Diseases Information System, from January 2009 to June 2019. Results: A total of 283,234 seropositive cases were reported. Data were grouped in the six-year period (2009-2014) and the five-year period (2015-2019). The predominant profile was: male (65.1% and 71.1%), white (47.1%) and brown (46.5%), aged between 30 and 39 years (32.6% and 30.3%), education up to elementary school (53.1% and 44.7%), sexual exposure in heterosexuals (60.39%). Conclusion: The profile in the last 10 years has been marked by young, white, male adults, contaminated by heterosexual relationships. The drop in the number of diagnoses highlights the effectiveness of the population's prevention and adherence policies and strategies.
