Sumario:OBJECTIVE: to describe the years of potential life lost (YPLL) due to AIDS among the female population and analyze its association with race/skin color and social vulnerability indicators in Porto Alegre, capital city of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. METHODS: this was a descriptive study that took into consideration AIDS deaths in female between 2007 and 2017; data were obtained from the Mortality Information System; crude values and YPLL rates per 1,000 deaths were calculated, taking into consideration health districts and race/skin color. RESULTS: of the 1,539 deaths, approximately 51,000 years of potential life were estimated, representing 86.5 years lost/1,000 female; it could be seen a higher proportion of deaths among female of White race/ skin color (53.4%); however, a higher rate of YPLL was found among female of Black and mixed race/skin color living in regions of greater vulnerability. CONCLUSION: the results suggest the impact of racial inequalities on the decrease in years of potential life due to AIDS deaths.
