We describe the characteristics of people with a recent diagnosis of HIV infection.Series of 126 new cases of HIV infection diagnosed in an infectious diseases Service.Sexual transmission was the commonest form of infection (74%). Fifteen percent of individuals were aged over 50 years and 16% were immigrants. A late diagnosis (stage C) accounted for 36% of cases and it was associated with being more than 50 years old (OR: 5.1; 95% CI: 1.6-16.8).It is necessary to implement HIV infection surveillance systems and to improve preventive services. |
