Resumen

Natural history of HIV infection has been changed a long the history of this epidemic. The aim of this study is to analyse epidemiology variants of HIV infection in our area. We revised clinical histories of HIV infection patients looked after in Canary University Hospital from 1985 to 1999. Results: the majority of these patients are parenteral drug users although last years HIV infection are mainly in those who practice sexual risk activities. HIV cases, admissions and exitus incidence reduced since 1997 coinciding with using more effective antiretroviral therapy. Conclusions: in our area HIV infection has the same epidemiology variants as the rest of Spain or Europe.
