AGUILAR YAMPARA, Ivan et al. Break in the publication of articles on the Vaccine against HIV mediated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2023, vol.10, n.1, pp.29-40. ISSN 2312-3893. https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2023.10.01.29.
Introduction:
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the pathogen that causes human immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Its importance lies in the fact that during the year 2020 in the world 37.6 million people lived with HIV, 1.5 million contracted the disease, and there is no vaccine to prevent their infection.
Objective:
To study the publications on the development of vaccines worldwide using bibliometric statistics on the subject of HIV and its progression in the last 20 years, emphasizing the period of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Methods:
A bibliometric statistical analysis was performed using the PubMed (Medline) database. For the qualitative analysis, the SCImago database was used.
Results:
An increase in publications was observed since 2001, reaching a maximum in 2016. Publications in first quartile journals were considered, with authors with a high H index, with important interactions between them. From 2017 to date, there has been a decrease in the number of articles published. With this method, it is not feasible, for now, to determine that the installation of the pandemic had a negative impact on the publication of articles on this topic.
Conclusion:
HIV should be established as a priority item in the scientific/medical area, this methodology offers ample possibilities to deepen and understand how science and its development are being approached, particularly in crucial issues such as vaccine research and the HIV.
