The results of study showed that the factor that significantly affect the incidence of HIV/AIDS were female sex workers, with p-value = 0.000) and homosexual, with p-value = 0.004. In subsequent studies, were expected to also analyzed other risk factors on the incidence of HIV / AIDS, in the broader region, in order to obtain valid results.
