Avaliação da cobertura dos exames de Sífilis e HIV em gestantes nos municípios brasileiros

Abstract

Infectious diseases are relatively common during pregnancy, such as Syphilis and HIV, therefore, it is necessary to diagnose them early, with prenatal care as a means of detection and monitoring. Objective: To analyze syphilis and HIV testing and its correlation with social factors in Brazilian municipalities between 2019 and 2022. Method: Ecological study of an analytical quantitative nature, referring to the years 2019-2022, carried out in Brazil, were used public domain data from Information Systems. Result: Municipalities with few inhabitants had the highest syphilis and HIV testing rates, especially the Northeast Region with 52.44%, but they had lower averages for prenatal care with 37.86%. The Southeast Region had a low average, with 25.87 for testing, however it is the region with the highest average of private health plan coverage. The lowest health plan coverage for these municipalities was 1.25% for the North region. Conclusion: In Brazil, it is necessary to check for failures in prenatal care and in testing for Syphilis and HIV, which can reduce the prevalence of HIV infection
