This study describes the historic records on AIDS in the Brazilian state of Ceará, with analysis by gender, age group and race. It is a descriptive, retrospective, ecological study, analyzing 7,896 notifications of cases of AIDS, of people aged 13 and above, resident in the Ceará, over the period 2001 through 2011. Percentage occurrences and other data were calculated based on the variables gender, age group and race. Average and comparison tests were made, considering p < 0.05 and the trend line. There is a progressive increase in the number of cases. The majority of cases are in men. The ratio between the sexes falls from 2003 through 2007, but the number of women is still lower overall in the period. Higher rates of occurrence were found between the ages of 30 and 39, and of those with black-white mixed-race skin color (80%). Based on the variables studied in the series that was analyzed, the results indicate a need for differentiated strategies in prevention and control of the disease in the state.
本研究描述了巴西塞阿拉州关于艾滋病的历史记录，并按性别、年龄组和种族进行分析。这是一项描述性、回顾性的生态学研究，分析了2001年至2011年期间居住在塞阿拉州、年龄在13岁及以上的7896例艾滋病病例报告。根据性别、年龄组和种族变量计算发病率百分比及其他数据。进行了均值和比较检验，显著性水平设定为p < 0.05并考虑趋势线。病例数量呈逐渐上升趋势。大多数病例为男性。2003年至2007年期间男女比例下降，但该时期女性病例总数仍较少。30至39岁以及黑白混血肤色人群的发病率较高（80%）。基于所分析系列中的研究变量，结果表明该州在艾滋病疾病预防和控制方面需要采取差异化策略。
