AS PRINCIPAIS COINFECÇÕES QUE ACOMETEM OS PACIENTES COM HIV

Abstract

This paper discusses the main coinfections that affect HIV patients, specifically dealing with a data collection and an analysis of the recommendations of the National STD and AIDS Program to promote adherence to treatment, particularly by strengthening social networks within the SUS. As a health promoter, it is important to raise the awareness of those with HIV who are associated with a probable coinfection and problems that can be generated. This is a quantitative and documentary research. Quantitative research is characterized by the use of quantification, in the modalities of information collection, and by the treatment of these through statistical techniques from the simplest to the most complex. (DALFOVO, 2008 p 6). Documentary research is characterized by the set of techniques adopted, characterized by an analysis of linguistic data (APPOLINÁRIO, 2009 p 155). The data analyzed by means of descriptive statistics show that 390 (100) of the confirmed cases of HIV present these co-infections, which are standing out among them HTLV 5 (33%), Sifilis 4 (27%), hepatitis B 3 ), Tuberculosis 2 (13%) and Hepatitis C 1 (7%). Due to the different coinfections and their risks it is considered opportune, that special strategies of follow-up be designed, aiming at diagnosis and early intervention.
