Figures released by the Health Protection Agency revealed that a third of HIV patients are being diagnosed late...
In the UK, in 2008, an estimated 32% (2310) of adults were diagnosed at a point after which treatment should have already begun. Early diagnosis of HIV significantly increases the effectiveness of the treatment process and ensures benefits such as improved life expectancy.British HIV Association Guidelines suggest that patients with HIV should be considered for treatment when their CD4 cell count reaches <350 per mm3 rather than waiting until it falls further to <200 per mm3.Ensuring the correct medications are administered specific to both the HIV infected patients and those in close contact with them is key.
