This article aimed to carry out a comparative analysis of public health policies aimed at combating HIV / AIDS in countries with a universal and free health system, in order to meet the UNAIDS goals. Data obtained from the UNAIDS online platform, for the year 2019, of the following variables were used: HIV test; Antiretroviral Therapy; Antiretroviral Therapy Regimes; Viral charge; Drug Resistance; Adhesion and Retention; Laws; Pre-exposure prophylaxis; Information system; Mortality; 90-90-90; Tuberculosis / HIV. In view of the variables analyzed, the results showed that only Brazil and Canada presented consolidated data on the platform. It was concluded that the country that presents the best consolidated data and aligned with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) is Brazil, among those that have a universal and free health system, in the evaluated parameters. This work demonstrates the importance and efforts of countries to follow the WHO recommendations to face this virus, as well as showing a problem related to the collection or availability of data, as only Brazil and Canada presented data available on the platform.
