Objective: To identify the annual incidence of AIDS diagnoses in the population aged 60 years or older residing in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, from 1997 to 2017 and also to compare the sex differences in infection rates. Method: Time series ecological study. Results: Between 1997 and 2017, 3,697 AIDS cases were reported in the elderly in RS. In the comparison between 1997 and 2017, the annual incidence of AIDS in the elderly in RS increased from 3.92 to 13.71 / 100,000 inhabitants, an increase of 249.93% (340.49% among men and 171.50%). among women). Conclusions: The percentage of AIDS diagnosed in the elderly in RS was six times higher than in the general population. This may be due to increased life expectancy and other factors related to the sexual behavior of the elderly, such as impotence medications and communication technologies.Priscila Oliveira da Silva PadilhaJuliana Nichterwitz SchererHelena Ferreira MouraLisia von DiemenJoana Correa de Magalhães NarvaezFelipe OrnellUniversidade de Santa Cruz do Sularticledisease notificationhealth of the elderlyacquired immunodeficency syndromesexualityMedicineRInternal medicineRC31-1245Infectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216PTRevista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção, Vol 10, Iss 4 (2020) |
