Over the past 30 years, an AIDS epidemic has had devastating consequences in the world and is one of the greatest challenges to public health. More than 7,000 people are infected with the virus every day, and one person dies every 20 seconds of an AIDS-related illness. The disease is a fifth cause of death among adults and a leading cause among women aged 15 years and 49 years. Over the years, the profile of the epidemic is changing, reaching more and more smaller municipalities and away from large urban centers, and it is necessary that studies be done to better explain this scenario. In the Municipality of Santo Antônio da Patrulha, HIV cases have been increasing, and in 2012, it was one of the 65 municipalities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul that most reported cases of the virus. Due to these factors, use the epidemiological of carriers of HIV/AIDS to understand why, the increase in cases. With the present study on the profile of seropositives in the municipality of Santo Antônio da Patrulha, we expect a closer, critical and strategic view to follow-up and surveillance actions related to HIV transmission. For the data to be analyzed on the website http://indicadores.aids.gov.br/, where the epidemiological information is as: The percentage of HIV/AIDS according to schooling; Percentage distribution of AIDS cases according to hierarchical category of exposure; Percent of AIDS cases according to race/color; Percentage of deaths due to basic AIDS; The percentage of HIV in pregnant women living in the municipality of Santo Antônio da Patrulha from 2005 to 2015, and in other information from the municipality with the state of Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil. Thus, I believe that studying the characteristics of the epidemic, we can establish effective goals and action plans that contribute to the control of the virus in the municipality of Santo Antônio da Patrulha - RS.
