Abstract:
Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of HIV-positive patients in Wuhan from 2013 to 2022, and to further discover the high-risk groups, high-risk factors and high-risk links of AIDS in Wuhan. Methods The data of 21212 HIV antibody confirmed positive cases submitted for examination in Wuhan Comprehensive AIDS Management Platform from 2013 to 2022 were collected. A chi-square test was conducted on the data using SPSS software, and the results were analyzed. Results The number of confirmed tests showed an overall increasing trend from 2013 to 2022 (χ2=252.92, P＜0.001). Among the 12 448 confirmed positive cases, the male to female ratio was 7.44:1. The number of cases in 20-years age group was the highest (32.96%). The proportion of males in 60-years age group showed an increasing trend year by year (χ2=13.222, P＜0.005). Most of the cases were divorced/widowed/unmarried (5655 cases, 45.43%，χ2=296.166，P＜0.001). The majority were college students or above (3190 cases, 25.63%), and there was an increasing trend year by year (χ2=384.615，P＜0.001). The top three occupations were housework and unemployment, students, and business services (χ2=1225.833, P＜0.001). The patient detection and preoperative detection were the most among the sources (χ2=4941.911, P＜0.001). Medical institutions sent the most cases for testing, but the positive rate was low (49.37%, χ2=2571.462, P＜0.001). Conclusion The overall number of confirmatory tests shows an increasing trend. It is recommended to supplement other diagnostic criteria and methods to improve the accuracy of positive rates in medical institutions. Efforts should be intensified to intervene in the elderly population, strengthen AIDS prevention education in schools, and raise awareness of AIDS prevention among young people.
