Risk of new HIV diagnosis by intersecting migration, socioeconomic, and mental health vulnerabilities in the Netherlands: a nationwide analysis of the ATHENA cohort and Statistics Netherlands registry data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To further reduce new HIV diagnoses in the Netherlands, individual and structural barriers hindering prevention must be addressed. We aimed to estimate the disproportional burden of new HIV diagnoses and explore how intersecting socio-demographic, socio-economic, and health-related factors jointly influence the risk of a new HIV diagnosis.

Methods

We combined data from the ATHENA cohort, an ongoing nationwide HIV cohort, with registry data from Statistics Netherlands. We selected individuals with a new HIV diagnosis between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2023 and matched them to individuals from the general population. We assessed determinants of a new HIV diagnosis using a multivariable generalized linear model. We used Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogen
