Abstract

İnsan Bağışıklık Yetmezliği Virüsü (HIV), Edinsel Bağışıklık Yetmezliği Sendromu (AIDS) tüm dünyada milyonlarca
insanı etkilemeye devam eden büyük bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. HIV epidemisinin başından beri HIV ilişkili nedenlere
bağlı olarak yaklaşık 79,3 milyon insan hayatını kaybetmiştir. HIV'in birçok farklı bulaşma yolu vardır, bulaşma sıklığı ve
en yaygın bulaşma şekli dünyanın farklı yerlerinde farklılık gösterir. Türkiye'de HIV ile ilgili epidemiyolojik verilerde yıllar
içinde değişiklikler olmuştur. Bu çalışma bir derleme çalışmasıdır. Türkiye'de HIV/AIDS konusunda yayınlanmış
çalışmalar ve raporlar gözden geçirilmiştir. Bu derlemenin amacı, Türkiye'de HIV/AIDS ile ilgili ilk vakanın
görülmesinden bu yana epidemiyolojik yayınları analiz etmek ve ülkedeki HIV bulaşma şeklini araştırmak için yapılan
çalışmaların niceliğini ve niteliğini belirlemektir. 1985-2022 yılları arasında yayınlanan tüm yayınlar gözden
geçirilmiş,756 çalışma belirlenmiş ve 54 özgün makale, kılavuz, rapor ve sempozyum sunumuna yer verilmiştir.
Araştırma türleri, katılımcı sayıları, katılımcı grupları, çalışma yeri, cinsiyet ve bulaş yolları incelenmiştir. HIV/AIDS
prevalansı artmaktadır. Heteroseksüel yolla bulaş şekli yaygındır ve erkeklerle cinsel ilişkiye giren erkekler yolu ile bulaş
şekli artmaktadır. Ulusal düzeyde yeterince büyük ölçekli çalışmaların olmadığı görülmüştür. HIV/AIDS konusunda
ulusal düzeyde veya çok merkezli olarak daha ileri çalışmalar yapılmalıdır.

Abstract

Human Immundeficiency Virus (HIV), Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrom (AIDS) is a major public health problem
continues to affect millions of people all over the world. An average of 79.3 million people died from HIV-related causes
since the start of the epidemic. HIV has many different routes of transmission, and the frequency of transmission and
the most common mode of transmission varies in different parts of the world. In Turkiye, there have been changes in
epidemiological data on HIV over the years. This is a c review paper. The published studies on HIV/AIDS and reportes
in Turkiye were reviewed. The aim of this review is to analyze epidemiologic publications since the first case was seens
in Turkiye on HIV/AIDS and to determine the studies quantity and quality to explore mode of transmission of HIV in the
country. All publications published between 1985 and 2022 were reviwed. 756 studies were identified and 54 original
articles, guidelines, reports and symposium presentation were included. The types of researches, the number of
participants, the participant groups, study location, gender and mode of transmission were examined. HIV/AIDS
prevelance is increasing. The mode of transmission is common through heterosexual transmission and men who have
sex with men transmission mode is increasing. It was seen that there were not enough large-scale studies at the
national level. Further studies on HIV/AIDS should be conducted as national level or multicenter.
