Rapporteur report
Track B report by Dr. John McKinnon
a. Non-adherence to HIV testing guidelines and late HIV diagnosis is common among U.S. black men who have sex with men (MSM). S. Mannheimer. THAB0301
a. Conclusion: 23% of study participants had reported no HIV testing in prior 12 months and 14% had never been tested before enrollment. Non-adherence to testing guidelines was associated with age ≥35, unemployment and not having seen a medical provider in the last 6 months. Late HIV diagnosis was associated with age ≥35.
b. Action: Promoting increase testing and to address barriers to access to care for U.S. black MSM.
b. Cost-effectiveness of more frequent HIV screening of men who have sex with men in the United States. A. Hutchinson. THAB0302
a. Conclusion: Increased testing frequency for high risk MSM to 3-6 months was determined to be cost-effective. The analysis supported the use of 4th generation HIV Ag/Ab tests to detect acute HIV infection, even at increased costs.
b. Action: Promoting HIV testing in high risk MSM with increase frequency to 3-6 months.
c. Characteristics of individuals presenting late for care across Europe: results from the Collaboration of Observational HIV Epidemiological Research Europe (COHERE). J. Lundgren. THAB0303
a. Conclusion: Over 50% of newly diagnosed HIV patients in Europe had a late presentation when first evaluated. There was a trend towards a 4% decrease per year in LP cases from 2000 to 2009. Older non-MSM originating from outside of Europe, presenting in South or North Europe were more likely to be LP.
b. Action: Increase interventions to reach non-MSM, “low risk” and non-native Europeans to achieve earlier detection of HIV infection
d. Trends over time in underlying causes of death in the D:A:D study from 1999 to 2011. C. Smith. THAB0303
a. Conclusion: Death rates in HIV positive populations with access to care has continued in the cART era, supporting the net benefits of therapy. AIDS remains the leading cause of death but has declined overall. Non-AIDS defining malignancies are now the leading non-AIDS cause of death rates have remained stable over time.
b. Action: Continued monitoring of specific causes of death in HIV patients is important to determine changing patterns and implement interventions.
e. The challenge and consequences of late diagnosis and late initiation of ART. B. Crabtree. THAB0305
Review: Late diagnosis and presentation to care is a significant barrier that limits the benefit of ART with increased early mortality and morbidity, and transmission of infection. Innovative strategies to improve linkage to care and retention should be evaluated and implemented
