| description | Abstract Over the past decade, Venezuela has experienced a political and economic crisis that has affected the country’s scientific research development. Currently, the state of HIV research in Venezuela remains unknown. We conducted a systematic review identifying 683 articles over the last 20 years of which only 101 met our inclusion criteria. A decrease in national scientific production was observed starting in 2017, although there was an increase in foreign research on the Venezuelan migrant population. Knowledge gaps were identified in areas such as epidemiology, efficacy and resistance to antiretroviral therapy, and HIV in pregnancy. |
