Abstract:

The objective of this study is to describe the time trend of coefficients of incidence and mortality associated to AIDS in children and teenagers. It was developed an ecological study of time trend in individual under 14 living in the regional context of high incidence of AIDS, Porto Alegre and state of Rio Grande do Sul, 1996 to 2012. Therefore a segmented regression model was adjusted for age categories and place of residence. AIDS morbidity and mortality indicators in Porto Alegre exceeded the registered in the state, and other regions of the country. In Porto Alegre, 59.1% of cases (371/628) occurred in children under four years, the incidence showed peaks in the period and the mortality dropped9 to 2 per 100,000. A significant decreasing in annual percentual change in mortality was observed especially in children under 1 year in Porto Alegre. This drop may be related to prevention and treatment of pregnant women. The challenge is to identify possible fragilities of the STD/AIDS Program and its vulnerable points in order to make specific interventions and investments with a greater potential of impact.
