Keywords:
HIV, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Pandemics, Epidemiologic Surveillance Services, AIDS SerodiagnosisAbstract
Introduction: This study presents a more detailed cross-sectional and quantitative analysis of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, from its onset in the 1980s to the present day. Method: The analysis was based on national epidemiological data addressing categories such as gender, sexual orientation, medical conditions, accidents involving biological material, vertical transmission, and unknown cases. This is a descriptive survey based on secondary data obtained between 1980 and 2023 from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), available on DataSUS. Results: The theoretical approach highlights modes of transmission and sexual orientation to outline the epidemiological profiles that have emerged since 1980 and how they have evolved over time, emphasizing a context that may guide potential public health policies according to the data reality. Conclusion: Observing the main annual and decade-based trends helps describe how these findings may influence the planning of public health policies.
