Only one individual in a high-risk population who received early intervention progressed to an AIDS diagnosis.
Telehealth provides a viable alternative to early identification of HIV continuing care, based on data from 28 newly diagnosed adults with HIV .
Several previous randomized trials have shown decreased morbidity and mortality for individuals living with HIV with high CD4 counts who received ART immediately compared with those with delayed treatment, she said. Nine participants reported that they had had their last HIV test 1-6 months ago, four reported 6-12 months, 10 reported 1-2 years, four reported more than 2 years, and one had never been tested. Only one participant was diagnosed with AIDS at the time of HIV diagnosis, with a CD4 count of 188 cells/µL, the authors noted, for an AIDS rate of 4.5% that was much lower than the US average of approximately 21%.
“Delays in treatment initiation have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality, including worse long-term health outcomes, while immediate initiation of ART has been linked to improved health outcomes, faster viral suppression, and increased retention in care,” said Wion, who was not involved in the current study.
