Study on HIV prevalence between 2021 and 2023 in Brazil

Abstract

The scientific article analyzes epidemiological data related to HIV/AIDS in Brazil, with a brief presentation of the epidemiological panorama in the State of Piauí, highlighting the importance of intensifying prevention actions, early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Discussing and analyzing the magnitude of the HIV epidemic and its panorama during the period of the coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) justifies the present study, given the public health context within the range delimited by the work. The objective is to analyze the epidemiological profile of the Brazilian population living with reported HIV/AIDS in the period 2021-2023. Prevention must be addressed in a broad way, with public policies aimed at different groups and age groups, in addition to educational campaigns that promote self-care and awareness about condom use. Early detection of infection and access to appropriate treatment are essential to reduce the spread of the virus and improve the quality of life of those affected. Faced with the challenges posed by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, an integrated and collaborative approach between governments, health professionals and civil society is necessary to effectively address the problem. The implementation of consistent and sustainable public policies is essential to ensure a comprehensive and effective response to HIV/AIDS in Brazil. Awareness, access to treatment and health promotion are fundamental to preventing and controlling the disease, aiming at the well-being of the affected population and reducing the prevalence of HIV infection.
