The analyzed data were sex, age, place of birth, clinical staging, type of transmission, pregnancy condition, treatment and drug toxicity Results: Of 154 diagnosed, 34(22%) were males and 120(78%) were females, 68(56,6%) were pregnant at the time of diagnosis and 12(7,8%) they had been infected by mother-child transmission. The average age of infected women was 37.3(range 15-66) and in men was 55,8(range 13-73). Of all diagnosed, 29(19%) had cardiovascular and 6(3,9%) gastrointestinal diseases.

They received treatment in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health 62 (40,3%) and 11(17,8%) of them evidenced drug toxicity. Conclusion: More women than men were diagnosed.
