摘要：

In this study we characterized factors associated with the late initiation of HIV care in the southeastern United States. At initiation of care, antiretroviral therapy was indicated for 75% of patients, 50% had a CD4 cell count of less than 200 cells/mu l, and 27% presented with an AIDS-defining illness. Male sex was an independent predictor in multivariable analysis. These results indicate an urgent need to increase HIV testing for earlier diagnosis in the southeastern USA.
