Mode of antiretroviral treatment based on the medical needs of people living with HIV/AIDS / 中华流行病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore and evaluate the model of antiretroviral treatment that oriented to the medical needs of people living with HIV/AIDS (HIV/AIDS),based on the local prevalence of HIV/AIDS.Methods A total of 268 HIV/AIDS were selected the CDC of 13 administrative district in Wuhan from 2012 to 2013 and 275 HIV/AIDS were selected in the hospitals of 13 administrative district in Wuhan from 2013 to 2014.The antiretroviral effect of the two groups was compared and the related factors were analyzed.Results An antiretroviral treatment network that oriented to the medical needs of HIV/AIDS was developed.Data showed that the adherence of patients was better than that when the treatment was carried out at the CDC offices and the status of immuno-recovery on HIV/AIDS was more effective than the hospital-based treatment (P＜0.05).Data from multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that different patterns did play different roles on the effects of treatment.Conclusions The mode of antiretroviral treatment that oriented to the medical needs of HIV/AIDS could effectively improve the adherence and outcomes of treatment.We believe this model could also be adopted elsewhere.
