After the introduction of HAART, the HIV/AIDS epidemiological trends has shown an increasing in the survival rates. HAART has dramatically improved the life expectancy of HIV/AIDS. The objective of this study was to estimate survival in people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in Puerto Rico (PR) from 2003-2011. A population-based study using the PR HIV Surveillance System was implemented. A total of N = 9,290 people were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in PR for 2003-2011 period. Cox regression models for survival analysis were assessed. Survival at 6 years after diagnosis in HIV patients was 0.87 (CI95%: 0.09, 0.72) when compare with AIDS patients at same time of diagnosis was 0.57 (CI95%: 0.55, 0.60) p<0.001. Intravenous drug users [IDU] have less probability of survival at 5 years after diagnosis when compare with other transmission modes 0.69 (CI95%: 0.67, 0.71) p<0.001. Assertive prevention strategies must be developed and implemented in PR for IDU's in order to increase their survival rates.
高效抗逆转录病毒治疗(HAART)引入后,艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行病学趋势显示存活率有所上升。HAART显著提高了艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的预期寿命。本研究的目的是估计2003年至2011年期间在波多黎各(PR)被诊断为艾滋病毒/艾滋病的患者的生存率。采用PR艾滋病毒监测系统开展了一项基于人群的研究。在2003 - 2011年期间,PR共有N = 9290人被诊断为艾滋病毒/艾滋病。评估了用于生存分析的Cox回归模型。艾滋病毒患者诊断后6年的生存率为0.87(95%置信区间:0.09,0.72),而同期艾滋病患者的生存率为0.57(95%置信区间:0.55,0.60),p<0.001。与其他传播方式相比,静脉吸毒者(IDU)在诊断后5年的生存概率较低,为0.69(95%置信区间:0.67,0.71),p<0.001。为了提高波多黎各IDU的生存率,必须制定并实施积极的预防策略。
