CLINICAL PROTOCOLS AND TREATMENT GUIDELINES FOR PATIENTS WITH HUMAN IMMUNODEFICENCE - PCDT / HIV

Abstract

In the last decades, there has been an increase in world life expectancy and a decrease in mortality rates, except for statistical data on sexually transmitted infections, especially Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. In view of this global reality, different strategies were taken by international and Brazilian agencies to raise awareness and reduce mortality rates, as well as the spread of the HIV virus, aiming at improving care assistance for HIV positive patients, guiding the goal of diagnosing and initiate antiretroviral therapy in 90% of this population by 2020. The present study aims to demonstrate public policies designed for this population as a tool to promote debate on the subject. It is evident the need to update the issue since the data show the increase in diagnosed cases of the infectious process, which could show some accommodation in the face of the progress achieved. Towards this demand, the present objective is to demonstrate through a bibliographical review the importance of knowledge of the public policy proposals as a tool in promoting health to the HIV positive HIV / AIDS carrier.
