Abstract

Objective: Conduct a survey on the epidemiological and sociodemographic aspects of cases of tuberculosis/Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) coinfection, and compare what was found with the data present in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) database on the number of cases of this coinfection in Brazil between 2016 to 2019. Methods: It is an integrative literature review, carried out through data collection from the databases Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), International Literature in Health Sciences (MEDLINE) and Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), with data from the last five years (2016-2020), and SINAN. Results: It was evident that there is a predominance of TB / HIV co-infection in some groups, such as: men, economically active class between 15 to 60 years old, mixed race and / or black, low socioeconomic level, users of illicit drugs and alcohol users. Conclusion: It is inferred that there was an agreement between the data of the studies analyzed and the findings on the Unified Health System (SINAN) platform. Thus, it is understood that the researched variables are important social determinants in health, since they help in the control and surveillance of infectious diseases, such as Tuberculosis and HIV.
