Abstract

The discovery of AIDS in the 1980s had its globally knowledge principally because of the large number of people who were affected, thus characterizing a pandemic. In Brazil, this epidemic has become increasing for years, with a stabilization around 25 years after the disease’s discovery and a big constant change in the profile of people who are infected with the HIV virus. Since 1996, the Brazil distributes antiretroviral drugs to those who are bearers of the vírus through outpatient services offered by SUS, being one of the first developing nations to respond positively to this type of illness, significantly reducing morbidity and mortality in the country. On the other hand, one of the greatest difficulties today is the adherence to antiretroviral treatment, since this type of treatment is complex and requires a set of factors, like a good humanized professional-patient relationship so that there's a concrete response to therapy. The present study aims to investigate the incidence of new HIV cases and to evaluate the adherence to antiretroviral treatment in na university hospital in João Pessoa’s city. In order to carry out this research, it used data extracted from SICLOM, dispensation records of outpatient pharmacy and an interview form, with regard to pharmaceutical adherence and care to users who use antiretrovirals. The sample of 64 new cases registered, between January 2017 and January 2018, had 79.6% of females and 20.4% of males with a mean age about of 27 years, with higher incidence in the January and May month. It is concluded that the results are in line with the current profile of the Brazilian HIV / AIDS epidemic, in view of a heterogeneous epidemic with characteristics observed since the year 2000, demonstrating the importance of collecting collected data so that demonstrating the importance of collecting collected data so that failures are avoided and resolved, resulting in improvements in service, aiding in the benefit of the assisted patients in the outpatient pharmacy.
