Variación espacio-temporal del VIH/SIDA 2008-2013, departamento de Córdoba, Colombia

This article determines the spatiotemporal spread of HIV/AIDS in the municipalities of Cordoba (Colombia) during the period 2008 - first half of 2013, in order to establish the spatial pattern of disease by applying the Ι Moran coefficient, based on the number of cases in each of the 30 municipalities, according to the registration Epidemiological Surveillance System of the National Institute of Health (SIVIGILA). Multi-temporal mapping was developed through the ArcGis 9.3 software. The pattern of concentration resulted in municipalities with greater supply of goods and population dynamism, where human behaviors can be risky for health; and that of dispersion in localities with rural predominance, economic backwardness and low productivity. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with general practitioners and psychologists, who work in Profamilia (Monteria) and the Opportunity and Life Foundation, to know the behavior of the virus and assimilation in the patient.
