ABSTRACT
Objective To find late diagnosis and its influencing factors of newly reported HIV/AIDS in Guizhou Province from 2014 to 2018. Methods Through the Chinese National Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Information System,all newly reported HIV/AIDS cases from 2014 to 2018 in Guizhou Province were analyzed and related factors of late diagnosis were analyzed using binary Logistic regression model. Results From 2014 to 2018, there were 33 611 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Guizhou Province, and the late diagnosis rates of newly reported cases were 35.46%, 34.49%, 38.35%, 39.74% and 38.80% respectively. The analysis showed that the proportion of late diagnosis cases from medical institutions increased year by year ( 2=64.603,P<0.001). By analyzing the late diagnosis rate of cases from different sample sources, medical institutions was significantly higher than that reported by voluntary counseling and testing, positive spouses or sexual partners( 2=276.033,P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that gender, marital status, route of transmission, occupation, ethnicity and source of samples were associated with the late diagnosis of newly reported cases (all P<0.05). Conclusions It shows a slow upward trend of late diagnosis rate among HIV/AIDS reported in Guizhou Province from 2014 to 2018.On the one hand, it is of great significance to continue to strengthen the publicity and education of the whole population in Guizhou , in order to improve the awareness of HIV active detection. On the other hand, we should continue to expand HIV testing in Guizhou Province to improve the early detection level of HIV/AIDS.
