Objective:
The present study aims analyze and compare structural features in order to establish a model about the decline in HIV/AIDS infection (greater than or equal to 25 %) in twenty-two countries between 2001 and 2011.
Methods:
Retrospective cohort focused on social determinants of health perspective. The methodology was mainly documentary (epidemic behavior) and quantitative (simple linear regression model for economic and health variables).
Results:
The major indicators that influence the decrease in the prevalence of HIV are: GDP per capita, health expenditure per capita and the Gini index
Conclusions:
Structural determinants, as well as inequities, may or not influence the decrease in prevalence of HIV. This hypothesis could be applied to other public health issues.
