Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the distribution of adult persons living with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in Florianópolis/SC between 1986 and 2006. This is a historical study of 3,209 individuals with AIDS, utilizing data collected from the Epidemiology Surveillance Sector of the Municipal Health Department between March and April of 2010. Data analysis addresses the type of occupation in the labor market; socioeconomic status of individuals aged 20 to 49 years; category of exposure and gender. AIDS affects subgroups and potentially vulnerable individuals. Women prevail in the Unemployed category as housewives and men occupy the Unemployed category as students and retirees/pensioners. Regarding occupational socioeconomic status, women were ranked between the 4th and 5th, and men between the 1st and 5th. The results suggest that  HIV/AIDS prevention activities should be planned to address the subgroups that are  potentially vulnerable.
