  1. Late HIV Diagnoses, Georgia, 2011-2012

  2. Background • Late HIV diagnosis is defined as first CD4 within 12 months of diagnosis <200 cells/ml • Late HIV diagnosis is associated with shorter lifespan compared to those with earlier diagnosis. • It is estimated that persons with late HIV diagnosis have been living 8-10 years with HIV, but have been undiagnosed and untreated. • Persons with late HIV diagnosis have twice the lifetime risk of transmitting HIV to others compared to those diagnosed early.1 • 1Farnham, P.G., et al, J Acquir Immune DeficSyndr, Vo. 64, No. 2, Oct 1,2013.

  3. Costs of Late Diagnosis • Lifetime direct medical costs and productivity losses for new HIV infections were estimated in 2002 as almost $1 million per person.2 • The costs are likely much higher today largely because of increased medical expenses. • The biggest cost, however, is in terms of new infections transmitted. • Each person with late HIV diagnosis has an average lifetime risk of transmitted HIV to 1.4 others.1 • Depending on risk behaviors, number of partners, concurrent STDs, lifetime transmission risk can be even higher. • Further, persons unaware of their HIV diagnosis have a higher annual rate of sexual transmission on HIV (9% vs. 0.4% per person per year).1 • 2 Hutchinson, A.B., et al. J Acquir Immune DeficSyndr, Vol 43, No. 4, December 1, 2006.

  17. Transmission category definitions • Multiple imputation was used to re-distribute transmission category where missing • MSM = Male to male sexual contact • IDU = Injection drug use • MSM/IDU = Male to male sexual contact and injection drug use • HET = Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection • Other = hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified

  18. Multiple Imputation • Multiple imputation (MI) methods are used to assign transmission categories to those persons whose diagnoses are reported without a risk factor • MI is a statistical approach in which missing transmission categories are replaced with plausible values • CDC uses MI for the national HIV dataset* • Georgia uses the same methodology as CDC *Harrison KM, Kajese T, Hall HI, Song R. Risk factor redistribution of the national HIV/AIDS surveillance data: an alternative approach. Public Health Rep 2008;123:618–27.

  19. Adult and adolescent males with late HIV diagnosis*, by transmission category**, Georgia, 2011 Adult and adolescent males >= age 13, Georgia residence at diagnosis 01/01/11-12/31/11 *Late diagnosis = earliest CD4 within 12 months of diagnosis <200 cells/ml Linked to care = CD4 or VL within 3 months of diagnosis Engaged in care >= 1 CD4 or VL 4-15 months after diagnosis Retained in care >= 2 CD4 or VL at least 3 months apart 4-15 months after diagnosis Viral suppression (VS) = VL<200 copies/ml in most recent viral load Multiple imputation was used to re-distribute transmission category where missing **MSM = Male to male sexual contact IDU = Injection drug use MSM/IDU = Male to male sexual contact and injection drug use HET = Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection Other = hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified

  20. Adults and adolescent females with late HIV diagnosis*, by transmission category**, Georgia, 2011 N= 139 N= 27 N= 30 Adult and adolescent females >= age 13, Georgia residence at diagnosis 01/01/11-12/31/11 *Late diagnosis = earliest CD4 within 12 months of diagnosis <200 cells/ml Linked to care = CD4 or VL within 3 months of diagnosis Engaged in care >= 1 CD4 or VL 4-15 months after diagnosis Retained in care >= 2 CD4 or VL at least 3 months apart 4-15 months after diagnosis Viral suppression (VS) = VL<200 copies/ml in most recent viral load Multiple imputation was used to re-distribute transmission category where missing **IDU = Injection drug use HET = Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection Other = hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified

  21. Adults and adolescents, total diagnosed and late diagnosis*, Georgia, 2011 Adult and adolescent males >= age 13, diagnosed by 09/30/2011, living 12/31/2012, Georgia * Late diagnosis = Stage 3 (AIDS)at or within 12 months of initial HIV diagnosis Multiple imputation is used to estimate number of persons in each transmission category. IDU = Injection drug use

  22. Conclusions • Late diagnosis is a predictor or viral suppression (VS) among persons diagnosed with HIV in 2011 in Georgia (VS 45% overall vs. 59% late diagnosis) • Among those with late diagnosis 2011, VS by race was lowest for Blacks (54%) than Hispanic/Latinos (71%) or Whites (69%) • Among those with late diagnosis 2011, VS by age was lowest for age 13-24 years (52%) and highest for age 45-54 years (65%)

  23. Limitations • Incomplete reporting • Missing data for race/ethnicity, sex, and complete address at diagnosis • Lack of transmission category information • Estimation using multiple imputation to redistribute risk when missing • Missing laboratory reports • Small N is some sub-groups limits meaningful analysis
