A recent study showed that rates of antiretroviral therapy in enrollees living with HIV increased over the years, but women had low prescription rates across all age groups.
Antiretroviral therapy prescription rates among Medicare enrollees living with HIV increased from 2007 to 2019. Although age-based disparities had reduced, women and both younger and older people had lower ART rates.Since 2012, the US Department of Health and Human services advised initiating ART for all people living with HIV , regardless of their cluster of differentiation 4+ T cell count, and as quickly as possible after diagnosis.
A total of 249,643 Medicare enrollees with at least one diagnosis of HIV on an inpatient claim or two other claims made during the 2-year reference period were included.
