“…Of the 828 patients investigated, 254 died (30.7%) and of these, 194 (76.4%) died during the initial attendance and 44 (17.3%) within the first 48 h of hospitalization. The average number of admittances per patient was 1.5 ± 1.4 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). The number of infectious complications at death was of 2.1 ± 1.1 (0-8) and 231 (90.9%) patients presented up to three opportunistic infections at death.…”

“…The low M:W rate obtained can be partially explained by sexual exposure as the most probable form of HIV transmission, with prominence of heterosexual behavior. The increase in heterosexual cases is a decisive factor concerning the increased female participation in the epidemic 9,11,12 . These data reflect the importance of interrupting the epidemiological chain that is occurring in our region, through preventive policies focusing on female participation in the epidemic.…”

“…In a historical cohort study analyzing the period from 1990 to 2003, researchers found a higher number of cases diagnosed in the southeastern and southern regions (80%), approximating the findings of this study, where we found those two regions had 84.2% of diagnosed cases. Another study stated that the low participation of other regions, especially the northern region, may reflect a delayed introduction of the AIDS epidemic into these macro-regions and problems with the surveillance system (8,(10)(11) . Although the use of secondary data presents numerous advantages, incomplete notifications hinder the knowledge of the true picture of the epidemic in Brazil.…”
