- Abstract
Since the first HIV / AIDS case described, combating HIV transmission through blood transfusions has become the highest priority within transfusion medicine. Laboratory testing is done by tests that screen for antibodies, antigens or isolate the virus. This is a cross-sectional and retrospective study, carried out through the analysis of the blood donor records obtained at the Blood Center of Maranhão (HEMOMAR), from January 2013 to December 2015, in order to evaluate the occurrence of Anti-HIV in Blood donors from the state of Maranhão. The study demonstrates the circulation of HIV in different groups and in the age group suitable for donation and confirms the internalization of this virus. Thus, we consider that the application of the NAT method in parallel with the serology has obtained a reduction of the "immunological window", in which they reinforce the need to encourage campaigns for HIV prevention and conscious blood donation, alerting the population to prevention.
