INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vertical HIV-1 transmission in the western region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: The study analyzed the medical records of HIV-1-infected mothers and infant pairs living in the municipalities of São Paulo Regional Health Departments DRS II (Araçatuba) and DRS XI (Presidente Prudente). From March 2001 to March 2006, blood samples were collected and referred to the Molecular Biology Unit of the Adolfo Lutz Institute (ALI), Presidente Prudente. HIV-1-RNA viral load was determined by bDNA assay. RESULTS: The number of births (109/217, 50.2%) and vertical HIV-1 transmissions (6/109, 5.5%) that occurred in DRS II was similar to births (108/217, 49.8%) and vertical transmissions (7/108, 6.5%) in DRS XI (p > 0.05). Although 80% (4/5) of the infected children were male in DRS II, while in DRS XI, 75% (6/8) were female, no differences between sex regarding infected and noninfected children in the regions of Araçatuba and Presidente Prudente were verified. The overall vertical HIV-1 transmission rate was 6%. No consistent reduction in the prevalence of vertical HIV-1 transmission occurred over the years. About 20% of mothers did not know the HIV-1 status of their newborns eight months after delivery. CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, MTCT prevalence rates were about 70% higher than those previously determined in the State of São Paulo, with noreduction throughout the period.Furthermore, a significant number of mothers did not know the HIV-status of their newborns eight months after delivery.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze, prepare and substantiate the relation of growth in the Western Region of Sao Paulo called “Oeste Paulista” with the concept of the gravitational model. The context of the region's growth is strongly exemplified in the 1980s and 1990s, the period being used to justify the focus on the gravitational model and to present its relations. Gravitational models are the first step indefining lines of work for the Mechanism design, used to analyze structures. The research group GDECOR has been working in this direction and the goal of this work is to qualitatively understand how the process of income and wealth creation in the regionsof the Western Region of Sao Paulo and their internal commercial relations is presented, exemplifying how the data are amenable to the application of the Model. Subsequently a quantitative study of the main indicators of the region will be done, which should be constructed as a Gravitational Model of the Social Fabric of the West of São Paulo, using Stata software and contributing to the elaboration of a model of socioeconomic development through Mechanism Design.
