Abstract

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is a global public health problem that has effects at the individual, family, and social level, as well as on the economic, political and social aspects of a country. It requires the investment of countless resources and the joint action of people, governments, NGOs, and civil society to achieve its control. It is a descriptive study where secondary data on the behavior of HIV infections for the period 1984-2019 in the Republic of Panama, provided by the Department of Epidemiology of the Ministry of Health (MINSA), were analyzed. A total of 2042 HIV cases were reported in this interval, and an increase in prevalence in 2018 was observed.

In Panama, the transmission of HIV/AIDS has been increasing since the first case appeared in Panama in 1984, and the sex most affected is men.
