Trends of the HIV/AIDS Phenomenon Dynamics in Romania from 2017-2027

Abstract

<jats:p>Background: HIV infection remains of major public health importance in all world and in Romania. In Romania there are a large number of long-term survivors coming from the 1987-1990 generation, the circumstances are due to the fact that an increased number of HIV-infected persons receive a specific therapy.&#x0D; Methods: The study was conducted using sociological analysis methods such as comparative analysis, statistical analysis, and with the help of the method of regression analysis, to capture the dynamics of the HIV / AIDS phenomenon in Romania, as well as forecasting the dynamics of the phenomenon over the next decade.&#x0D; Results: This longitudinal analysis of the statistical data provided by the Matei Bals Institute of Romania during the period 2004-2016, shows a progressive increase 1.4 times higher in 2016 compared to 2004, the prediction of the extension of the HIV / AIDS phenomenon for the period 2017-2027, in Romania being almost constant. Regarding the prognosis of the number of persons affected by HIV / AIDS in Romania, for the next 10 years an upward dynamic is predicted with an increasing annual rate of 506 new persons taken into evidence. As the prediction function shows, the trend the access to treatment is increasing for the next decade. After 2006 in Romania, the deaths dynamics is an exponential decreasing one, keeping the same rate of decrease, until 2015.&#x0D; Conclusion: The HIV/AIDS pandemic has changed considerably in the past 27 years. AIDS incidence and mortality in industrialised countries have fallen, and paediatric HIV disease has almost been eliminated as a public health issue, largely through antiretroviral drugs.</jats:p>

The HIV/AIDS epidemiological situation among men and women in Serbia in the period 2007-2017: Joinpoint regression analysis

“…Also, despite the availability of medication, treatment and care for AIDS patients in Romania, only a negligible decrease in the number of people dying from AIDS occurred. The largest number of HIV infected persons was in the age group of 26 -30 years, which coincides with the epidemiological situation in Serbia [9]. It is interesting that in Spain, the highest rates of newly diagnosed HIV-persons were in persons under the age of 20 years, although their absolute number was small, while the next age group with the highest rates was the one from 35 to 39 years.…”

“…Međutim, u Rumuniji, uprkos dostupnosti lekova, lečenju i nezi osoba obolelih od AIDS-a, dolazi do neznatnog smanjenja broja umrlih od AIDS-a. Najveći broj inficiranih HIV-om je bio u uzrastu od 26 do 30 godina, što se poklapa sa epidemiološkom situacijom u Srbiji [9]. Interesantno je da su u Španiji najviše stope novodijagnostikovanih osoba inficiranih HIV-om bile kod osoba mlađih od 20 godina, mada je njihov apsolutni broj bio mali, a zatim u uzrastu 35 -39 godina.…”

Professional inclusion of young people affected by the human immunodeficiency virus in the Jiu Valley

“…The HIV/AIDS pandemic has tremendously spread at a global level with serious implications upon population [1]. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a highly virulent pathogen which attacks the cells of the immune system, multiplying inside them, weakening their ability to defend, then destroying them.…”

Impact of HAART Therapy and HIV Infection over Fetal Growth—An Anthropometric Point of View

“…These fetuses have a weight below the 3rd percentile, an abdominal circumference below the 10th percentile for the respective population and for gestational age at that time, and the Doppler evaluation reveals a circulatory redistribution. Placental insufficiency is associated with a reduction in blood flow and circulatory redistribution, resulting in fetal hypoxia and nutrient deprivation as a consequence of an altered placental function [7][8][9].…”
