AB OBJECTIVE: Analyse the trends of the AIDS epidemic among women in the
State of Sao Paulo from 1983 to 1993. METHODS: Evaluation of all
reported AIDS cases in the State until 11/93. RESULTS: 28174 cases were
reported (M = 23657, F = 4517). Since 1987 the absolute annual increase
among women is of 50% while among men from 1991 to 1992 it was of 17%.
The M/F ratio fell from 9/1 to 4/1 from 1987 to 1992. Among males in
1987, 15.2% were IVDU, 36% bisexual and 5.4% heterosexual. In 1992 this
figures were 36%, 12% and 12% respectively. Among women until 1986 only
23 cases were reported. From 1987 to 1990, 49.6% of the cases were in
IVDU, 36% in heterosexuals and 7.8% in blood receptors. In the time
period of 1990 to 1992 these figures were 36.2%, 46% and 4%
respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The epidemic is growing faster among women
then among men. Initially IVDU was the main risk situation but, in the
90s heterosexual practice, probably linked more with sexual partnership
with a male IVDU, appears as the main cause of HIV infection among
women.
