| Resumo: | Since the emeregency of AIDS in the early 1980s, blood and blood product transfusion has become an important route of HIV transmission. To minimize this risk, laboratory screening testing has been mandatory in the daily routine of blood banks to ensure the exclusion of virus-positive donors. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of HIV1 / 2 viruses in blood donors and blood products treated in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, characterizing them according to gender and age. To achieve this, a retrospective study was carried out covering the period from January 2013 to December 2018, whose evaluated data were obtained from the Health Secretariat website, through epidemiological bulletins, prepared by the Dalton Cunha Hemocenter Epidemiological Surveillance Center - RN. It was found that out of a total of 342,754 blood donor candidates, 591 (0.17%) were considered unfit to donate blood because of their HIV1 and / or HIV2-reactive serology. The highest number of cases of positivity occurred in 2013, with 189 individuals considered unfit. During the study period, there was a 61.3% drop in the prevalence rate of positivity for these viruses when compared to 2013 with 2018. Most of the reactive individuals were male (77.6%). Regarding age group, the highest prevalence of infection occurred in young individuals, aged 21 to 30 years. The study reveals a low prevalence of HIV-positive individuals among blood donor candidates from hemo-network, but it is important to further analyze the epidemiological characteristics of these donor candidates. |
