“…The mean age obtained in the present study was 45.67 years, in agreement with other national studies [8][9][10] , in which the largest proportions of PLHA were aged between 30 and 49 years. However, data presented in the last HIV/AIDS epidemiological bulletin, published by the Ministry of Health in 2016, show that the highest concentration of HIV cases in Brazil is in individuals aged between 25 and 39 years, for both sexes 11 .…”

“…It is known that the ingestion of alcoholic beverage negatively influences health, especially in this group, since it alters adherence to treatment and increases the risk of unprotected sex, and ethanol is also linked to greater chances of toxicity of the medication and is related to treatment inefficiency, since it competes with it, in addition to being associated with the lower CD4 + T lymphocyte count and higher viral load. [14][15] It is emphasized that smoking is associated with increased mortality in infected patients, with the risks of developing atherosclerotic disease, respiratory diseases and diverse lung diseases; furthermore, cigarette use is associated with inductions of inflammatory responses greater than would be expected in a smoker without HIV infection. 16 It is also stated that patients received from other states came from the interior of small cities, as well as patients regulated from the south or north of the state, which is equivalent to almost half of the attendances of the year 2016.…”

“…Hazardous alcohol consumption is associated with reduced adherence and reduced viral suppression (21)(22) , it is thus necessary that these types of interventions include strategies that allow patients to have healthy behaviors and reduce alcohol consumption to improve adherence and quality of life (23) . According to the current technical standard of the selected health service, alcohol consumption patterns must be explored during the nursing interview protocol to "define nursing diagnoses or lead patients to propose their own solutions" (24) .…”
