Tendência da incidência e da mortalidade por aids em mulheres na transição menopausal e pós-menopausa no Brasil, 1996-2005

Abstract: There was an increase in the number of new cases of AIDS in women over 30 and the same was true for mortality. The increase and "aging" of epidemics among Brazilian women show that health supporting measures, disease prevention and early diagnoses as well as effective care must be provided for women in the 30-69 age group considering personal characteristics, family context and social role played by women of this age.
