We aimed to estimate the proportion of postmigration HIV acquisition among HIV-positive migrants in Europe. To reach migrants, we designed a cross-sectional study performed clinics. The was conducted from July 2013 2015 57 clinics (nine European countries), targeting individuals over 18 years diagnosed preceding 5 and born abroad. Electronic questionnaires supplemented with clinical data were completed any 15 languages. Postmigration estimated through Bayesian approaches combining extensive...
Migrants are considered a key group at risk for HIV infection. This study describes the epidemiology of and distribution late presentation among migrants within European Union/European Economic Area during 2007-2012.HIV cases reported to Surveillance System (TESSy) were analyzed. defined as people whose geographical origin was different than reporting country. Multiple logistic regression used model presentation.Overall, 156,817 reported, which 60,446 (38%) migrants. Of these, 53% from...
ObjectivesTo analyze the impact of late presentation (LP) on overall mortality and causes death describe LP trends risk factors (2004–2013).MethodsCox models logistic regression were used to data from a nation-wide cohort in Spain. is defined as being diagnosed when CD4 < 350 cells/ml or AIDS.ResultsOf 7165 new HIV diagnoses, 46.9% (CI95%:45.7–48.0) LP, 240 patients died.First-year was highest (aHRLP.vs.nLP = 10.3[CI95%:5.5–19.3]); between 1 4 years post-diagnosis, aHRLP.vs.nLP 1.9(1.2–3.0);...
Objective: We aimed to characterize non-AIDS events (NAEs) occurring in newly diagnosed HIV-infected patients a contemporary cohort. Methods: The Cohort of the AIDS Research Network (CoRIS) is prospective, multicenter cohort adults antiretroviral naive at entry, established 2004. evaluated incidence and mortality due NAEs through October 2010.

In most HIV-positive individuals, infection time is only known to lie between the an individual started being at risk for HIV and diagnosis time. However, a more accurate estimate of very important in certain cases.
