Abstract

Since the number of persons living with HIV/AIDS was relatively low compared to the hard-hit countries, HIV/AIDS was not considered as an emerging health problem in Turkey. However Turkey carries a number of factors which enable the spread of HIV/AIDS and the reported rates are accepted to be an underestimation due to the drawbacks of the present surveillance system. This paper discusses the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in Turkey, factors influencing risk and prevention and the need concerning prevention and control activities in order to address future challenges to combat the epidemic.

Özet

Türkiye'de HIV/AIDS^in öncelikli sağlık sorunları arasında sayılmaması, olgu sayılarının bu hastalık tarafından vurulan diğer pek çok ülkeye kıyasla göreceli olarak düşük olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Ancak Türkiye^nin HIV/AIDS^in yayılımını kolaylaştıran pek çok risk faktörünü barındırdığı ve bildirilen olgu sayılarındaki düşüklüğün sürveyans sistemindeki yetersizliklere bağlı olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Bu makalede, HIV/AIDS epidemisi ile mücadele ederken yapılması gerekenleri ortaya koymak amacıyla Türkiye^deki hastalık epidemiyolojisi, riski etkileyen faktörler, önleme ve kontrol etkinlikleriyle ilgili gereksinimler tartışılmaktadır.
