“…Infectology is the highlighted subject of four studies, with prominence to human immunodeficiency virus infection, which has increased considerably among middle-aged women as found by Valadares et al64 On a different note, and because sexually transmitted diseases are common reasons for seeking medical assistance, Passos et al65 analyzed the temporal distribution of first appointments in a sexually transmitted disease clinic from January 1993 to December 2005 to verify whether there is a seasonal increase in sexually transmitted disease after Carnival. No such influence was detected.…”

“…HIV infection in women deserves special attention, mainly due to its increasing incidence in the past few years, inequalities regarding socio-economic, cultural and gender contexts, and changes in the carriers' epidemiologic profiles. [1][2] Epidemiological data published by the health manager reveal the number of cases reported to the Notifiable Diseases Reporting Information System (SINAN in Brazilian acronyms) according to gender. In 2011, 9,035 cases of AIDS were reported in males, while 5,491 cases of AIDS were reported in women, comprising all age brackets.…”
