Abstract

Characterized as a major public health problem worldwide, infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus needs constant studies to identify the evolution of mortality. This study aims to research the demographic profile of deaths from Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in Brazil. It has an epidemiological, cross-sectional and retrospective design, with a quantitative approach, carried out in November 2019 based on data from the Mortality Information System, referring to the period from 2013 to 2017, considering the variables: region, age group, sex, race / color and schooling. The sample consisted of 62,081 cases of death from AIDS, with emphasis on the Southeast region with 42.96%, in the age group of 60 to 64 years (29.33%), male (66.25%), with prevalence in the race / brown color variable (42%), with 4 to 7 years of study (25.48%). A change in the profile of these deaths in the country was revealed, with no more vulnerable population.
