Objective: to analyze the spatial-temporal distribution of AIDS mortality. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive study, which evaluated 959 aids deaths reported through the Mortality Information System. The temporal trend was analyzed using the Joinpoint Regression Program, version 4.6.0.0, and the Scan scanning was used to evaluate the formation of purely spatial clusters of deaths, considering a significance level of 5%. Results: most deaths occurred among males (71.1%), with seven years of schooling or less (79.6%), of pardo race (72.2%) and age group from 30 to 39 years (69.2%). There was a statistically significant increase in AIDS mortality of 5.2% per year (p<0.001; 95% CI: 1.0-9.5). The spatial scanning pointed to a statistically significant cluster of deaths (p<0.0001), which covered 18 municipalities, including Oeiras, Parnaíba and those in the metropolitan region of Teresina. Conclusion: the analysis of temporal and spatial trends showed a significant increased mortality over the period studied, as well as the presence of a cluster of deaths that covered 18 municipalities, including Teresina, Oeiras and Parnaíba.
