Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2023, Vol 35, Issue 8

Abstract

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors that influence the first CD4+T lymphocyte counts in newly reported HIV-infected cases aged 50 and above in Dehong Prefecture of Yunnan Province during 2016 to 2021, and to understand the patient immune status and disease progression so as to provide scientific basis for HIV prevention and control strategies in the future.MethodsData was collected from the national HIV/AIDS information system. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the analysis of factors affecting the first CD4+T lymphocyte counts.ResultsA total of 642 cases of HIV infection were newly reported, among them, 571 cases had CD4+T lymphocyte counts and 200 cases (35.03%) had CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1. Patients who were in the 50-59 age group, male, divorced or widowed, and less educated were more likely to have CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1. Compared with active testing consultants, forced reeducation through labor or drug rehabilitation cases were less likely to have CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1.ConclusionThere is no obvious upward trend in newly reported HIV infected persons aged 50 years and above in Dehong Prefecture during 2016 to 2021. However, the situation of CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1 is still serious. Attention should be paid to the key groups: male, Chinese nationality, farmers, Han nationality, married or divorced, junior high school education or below, and heterosexual transmission. It is necessary to strengthen the intervention in people aged 50 and above and improve the detection efficiency.
