Consequences of Late Diagnosis Late testing results in missed opportunities for preventing HIV infections Late diagnosis may also increase the costs of hospital care and management of opportunistic infections, especially immediately after diagnosis Direct care costs in the year following HIV diagnosis were more than 200% higher for patients who presented late* Late diagnosis and entry to care are associated with less favorable prognosis and survival *HB Krentz, MC Auld, MJ Gill (2004)
Consequences & Cost Delayed entry into care is associated with less favorable prognosis and survival Delayed entry into care is associated with increased cost of hospital care and management of opportunistic infections Mean annual costs for late presenters were 2.2 times greater than those for early presenters* Hospitalizations and immediate initiation of drug therapy main drivers of cost Increased costs were present even when age, gender, risk factor, education, ethnicity and living arrangements were held constant* *Krentz HB, Auld MC, Gill MJHIV Medicine 2004, 5:93-98
