ABSTRACT
This study consists of a review of the Brazilian scientific production in the
field of Aids, between 1982 and 2002. This literature was approached by
articles published in Brazilian scientific journals indexed in the LILACS
database. Its objective was to understand, through quanti-qualitative
analysis, with a special emphasis on the feminine population: the nature of
the research that funded the articles, thematic contents, populations focused,
financial supports, compliance of the CNS 196/96 Resolution, as well as the
authors' profile: institutional affiliation, title, sex, location origin. 185 articles,
published in 53 journals, were reviewed. The results showed that 60% of
authors were linked to public universities. The Southeast region (São Paulo,
Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais) concentrated 76,5% of the authors, with
São Paulo in the leading (36,8%). PhD titles corresponded to 36,8% of the
sample, in the first position, seconded by Masters (14,9%). In the sex
distribution, men were less than 1% ahead of women. As on sex title
distribution, there were more female PhD and Masters than male PhD and
Masters, 51,8% and 64,7%, respectively. Cadernos de Saúde
Pública/Reports in Public Health and Revista de Saúde Pública/Journal of
Public Health were the periodicals that yelded the majority of the articles.
Articles on social and behavioral field were more abundant. The thematic
category Health Care was the most present in the articles (45,4%), focusing
basically on diagnosis and treatment. Amongst the predominant themes,
Information and Knowledge were in evidence (5,9%). The results showed are
not representative of the articles on Aids in LILACS database in the period of
study. Nevertheless, they allow to say that the research in HIV/Aids in the
country was paralel that of the international scene.
