Survival time and influencing factors among people living with HIV in Guilin City, Guangxi, China: a retrospective cohort study (1996-2022).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite significant advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), substantial disparities in survival outcomes among people living with HIV (PLWH) persist in resource-limited settings. However, in Guangxi, a region heavily affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China, research on the survival time of PLWH and its associated factors remains limited. This study aims to investigate the survival time and its influencing factors among PLWH in Guilin, Guangxi, from 1996 to 2022, filling an important gap in regional HIV epidemiological research.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study method was used to study PLWH whose current address was reported as local in Guilin from 1996 to 2022. The life table method and Kaplan-Meier method were used to calculate the survival rate and draw
