ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the characteristics of HIV infected persons without long term disease progress [also known as long term non-progressors (LTNPs)],and related factors in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi).Methods Data of persons living with HIV and receiving no antiretroviral therapy in Guangxi by the end of 2016 were collected from the national HIV/AIDS comprehensive control and prevention information system of China.Results By the end of 2016,there were 313 LTNPs in Guangxi,accounting for 2.3 % of those being reported for more than 10 years,5.4% of those being reported for more than 10 years and surviving,and 26.6% of those being reported for more than 10 years,surviving and receiving no antiretroviral therapy.Among the LTNPs,87.2%(273) were men,94.9% (297) were aged ≤ 40 years,32.3% (101) were farmers,55.6% (174) were single,divorced or widowed,69.3% (217) were of Han ethnic group,68.1% (213) were injecting drug users,and 52.1% (163) were from custody facilities.Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that factors associated with delayed disease progression included age ≤40 years (compared with age >40 years,aOR=1.55,95% CI1.31-3.12) and injection drug use (compared with sexual transmission,aOR=1.23,95% CI1.10-1.74).Conclusions A number of LTNPs existed in HIV-infected individuals in Guangxi.Further research are needed to identify the related factors,and it is necessary to conduct large sample size studies on host immunology,genetics and the virology of HIV to explore the related mechanism.
