This study aimed to determine the epidemiological profile and characteristics associated of HIV positive patients co-infected with Toxoplasma gondii, Cytomegalovirus and Trypanosoma Cruzi, registered and/or monitored at a Specialized Care Service (SAE) for people living with HIV/AIDS. A cross-sectional descriptive study, that used documentary analysis of notes included in the medical records by the multidisciplinary staff from 323 patients’ records from 10 cities in the state of Goias. Data was collected from June to November 2016. The serological tests conducted showed a prevalence of coinfection of 70% (226) for Toxoplasma gondii, 87% (281) for cytomegalovirus and 1.9% (06) Trypanosoma Cruzi. Co-infections were related to gender, age group and marital status. The results of this study may contribute to the planning and implementation of health actions, providing guidance and preventive measures targeted for groups vulnerable to coinfection.
