In case of coinfection the AIDS has higher precocity in its development with modifications of its parameters control and the antiretroviral begining. This study presents the prevalence of HTLV IIII among patients attending the AIDS Reference Unit (URE-DIPE). A group of 588 patients from the URE-DIPE, 292 from Institute Evandro Chagas (IEC) and 295 of blood donors from HEMOPA was tested for the presence of antibodies to HTLV IIII using double ELISA and Western Blot. In the URE-DIPE the heterosexual population was the predominant, in both sexs, with 499 persons (84,9%). Although after the Anti-HIV result analysis, there is no significative difference in the sexual option. Seven patients (1,2%) were positive to HTL V I. The coinfection HTL V/HIV occurred in 3 cases, corresponding for 0,5% from the total. In the IEC, the serum positivity was detected in two cases (0,7%) to Anti-HTLV I and II. Comparing these 2 groups (URE-DIPE and IEC), the results didn't disagree with p=0,2345 and 0,4691, respectivitly. The population thats presents a higher sexual activity is the most and lEC do not permit to determine that in the first, the HTL V infection is the most incidence. Also, there is no significative difference between the heterosexual and homosexual infections. Therefore, the sexual contact is the dominant factor. The most afected ages are favourable the perinatal transmission. The serum positivity absent in the blood donors is compatible with the low prevalence of this group. It is agrees on the literature. Further studies are necessary in order to inform the health professionals and the whole population about prevention and controls.porAcesso AbertoVírus linfotrópico de células T humanas tipo 1Vírus 2 linfotrópico T humanoHIV (Vírus)Síndrome de Imunodeficiência AdquiridaPrevalênciaBelém - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::MEDICINA::CLINICA MEDICA::DOENCAS INFECCIOSAS E PARASITARIAS
