Abstract
Objective: Analyze the epidemiological and clinical profile of HIV/Aids cases and associate this profile with the mortality. Method: Cross-sectional study, using data from the HIV/Aids forms in the National Disease Notification System, between 2007 and 2019. The HIV/Aids case detection rate was analyzed and the odds ratio was calculated. Results: Among the 3,113 notified cases, men (72.3%) prevailed, age range between 30 and 59 years (60.9%), with finished secondary education (39.5%) and white ethnic origin (67.3%). The percentage of men increased (p<0.001), while the average age (p=0.012) and the percentage of deaths decreased (p<0.001). Male and older individuals with lower education level, heterosexual and with opportunistic infections presented a greater chance of death (p<0.05). Conclusion: The association between low education level and death demonstrates the need for simple health education. The higher mortality among men underlines the importance of policies targeting this public.
