ABSTRACT
Introduction: in 2021 the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimated that 160,000 children became infected with HIV. For this reason, the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT-HIV) has become a global public health priority. Objective: to analyze the magnitude, distribution, and trend of cases by MTCT-HIV from 1996 to 2018, in Mexico. Material and methods: descriptive study, based on official records at the national level, identifying the cases due to MTCT-HIV and their distribution according to the mother's residence. The information was grouped by state and health jurisdiction (HJ) zones, using the Joinpoint segmented regression model. Results: between 1986 and 2018, 3,989 MTCT-HIV cases were diagnosed. Although there was a significant decrease in the number of cases from 2006, in 2018 there were 81 cases. From 2013 to 2018, 470 cases were registered, of which 50.9% were concentrated in six Mexican States and 49.4% in 24 HJ. Conclusion: although there is progress with the data obtained, it is possible to identify geographic areas where it is necessary to prioritize actions to eliminate MTCT-HIV in Mexico.REFERENCES
