Abstract
The Human Immunodefi-ciency Virus constitutes a serious health problem worldwide. HIV is a pathology that attacks the CD4 cells of the immune system, causing damage to the immune system, which makes it easier for infec-tions or opportunistic diseases to arrive. Objective: To know the specificity of the rapid tests and confirmatory tests of pa-tients with HIV in reproductive ages of the General Hospital Esmeraldas Sur, in the clinical laboratory area. Methodology: It is a quantitative study, retrospective lon-gitudinal section, with descriptive scope, which allowed ordering, interpreting and tabulating the results of rapid tests and confirmatory tests of HIV / AIDS of female patients of reproductive ages. Evidence of the lack of information in the registry of patients with HIV / AIDS of the HGES, of the statistical data, in 49 female pa-tients registered in the HGES. Results:The study indicates that there is a predo-minance of patients with HIV / AIDS. 30 cases correspond to patients in the age group ≤ 30 years, followed by 12 cases corresponding to patients in the age group ≤ 40 years, while patients in the age group ≤ 45 represent 8% (4 cases) and 6% (3 cases) correspond to patients ≤ 20. 61% correspond to ≤ 30 years, secondly, with 25% those ≤ 40 years. Conclusions: The records observed in the HGES, during the research process, were not sufficient to achieve the proposed objective, for this purpose, it is necessary to have complete records of patients with HIV / AIDS in all tests, according to the algorithm of The OMS. In addition, to provide confidence to the public with quality results, technologi-cal resources and other instruments must be use that allow the health professional to give a correct and timely diagnosis. All framed in the main ethic, the conservation of life
