Background and Objectives: Porto Alegre is among the state capitals of Brazil with the highest magnitude of epidemiological indicators in relation to people living with HIV/SIDA, impacting the mortality indicators of this population. This study aimed to analyze the temporal trend of deaths from HIV/SIDA in women residents of the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from 2007 to 2017, considering age groups, skin color and education. Method:this is an ecological time series study on the trend of HIV/SIDA mortality rates among women living with HIV residents in the city of Porto Alegre, RS. Unadjusted and standardized mortality rates were calculated according to age group, skin color and education. For trend analysis, Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression was used. Results: 1,603 deaths related to HIV/AIDS were identified in women living in the city during the study period. Mortality coefficients were higher in white, less educated women, with an increasing trend among those over 60 years of age (95%CI 0.044; 0.029) with a decline for those in the age group between 20 and 29 (95%CI - 0.566; - 0.120). Conclusion: changes in the epidemiological scenario of HIV/AIDS draw attention to the care of people over 60 years of age and with less education, requiring efforts from healthcare networks to prevent deaths.
