Knowledge about epidemiological distribution patterns of HIV infection in different geographic regions is relevant to understand the dynamics of the disease in Brazil. This study aims to characterize the epidemiological and clinical profile of HIV-infected patients from Southwestern Goias State, from 2005 to 2015. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect clinical-epidemiological, virological, and immunological data from the medical records of all HIV-infected patients (n=539) who were followed at the regional reference center of Jatai, Goias State, Brazil, from 2005 to 2015. We detected the prevalence of male patients and the heterosexual route of transmission, as well as an expressive number of young women infected with HIV. The HIV infection was more prevalent in reproductive ages (55.3%). Most patients presented clinical manifestations related to HIV infection at the time of diagnosis. Twenty-four patients presented coinfection with hepatitis C virus, syphilis, hepatitis B virus, leprosy or Chagas disease. Pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii was the most common opportunistic infection, followed by neurotoxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, and neurocryptococcosis. Combined antiretroviral therapy improved CD4+ T-cell counts: the mean CD4+ T-cell counts after treatment was twice as high as those found at the first medical appointment; and highly active antiretroviral therapy promoted viral suppression in a significant number of patients. Considering the increasing distribution of HIV infection to the interior of Brazil, this descriptive study outlines the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of HIV infection in Southwestern Goias and contributes to develop local prevention strategies and public service plans.

Objetivo: Analisar o tempo de sobrevida de pessoas diagnosticadas com a infecção pelo HIV e óbitos com menção de HIV/AIDS, associados a terapia antirretroviral no período de 2008 a 2018, em residentes na região dos Campos Gerais/Paraná. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de coorte retrospectivo, de caráter exploratório e documental. Resultados: estudo foi composto 737 pessoas, destas 56,9% correspondiam a casos de óbitos e 43,1% a pessoas vivas diagnosticadas no período de avaliação. Verificou-se que 59,3% eram do sexo biológico masculino, 77,6% de raça e/ou cor da pele branca e 58,6% com ensino fundamental. A sobrevida média foi de 8,8 anos, com mulheres apresentado 10,2 anos, analfabetos com 7,1 anos e aqueles com idade superior a 60 anos de idade com 5 anos de sobrevida. Constatou-se também que as pessoas vivendo com HIV sem uso de antirretrovirais tiveram sobrevida média muito baixa, apenas 4,7 anos. Apesar das disparidades entres os subgrupos avaliados, a TARV apresenta impacto significativo no tempo de sobrevida quando o tratamento é instituído de forma precoce. Conclusão: Pesquisas de sobrevida, possibilitam monitorar os desiquilíbrios na assistência em saúde, tratamento e cuidados, situações essas que influenciam diretamente na qualidade e expectativa de vida de pessoas vivendo com HIV.
