The United Kingdom provides excellent access and quality of HIV care: Results from a national cohort Valerie Delpech, Zheng Yin, Meaghan Kall& Alison Brown July 2012
The HIV epidemic in the UK Estimated number of people living with HIV, UK (MPES) • NHS provides free and open access care to HIV and STI patients • 100,000 living with HIV in 2012 (0.15%) • Epidemic concentrated in MSM, Africans communities & persons who inject drugs • 6,500 new diagnoses annually
HIV Quality of care indicators • Late HIV diagnosis • Prompt integration into care • Achieving viral load suppression • Successful care • Survival Data sources: 1. New HIV diagnoses 2. Annual surveys of all HIV patients accessing care 3. Longitudinal CD4 counts from laboratory reports.
Conclusions • The UK healthcare services provide excellent access and quality of HIV care, regardless of patient demographical characteristics. • Expanding testing to reduce late diagnosis remains the most important challenge • data on clinical outcomes should form part of routine surveillance
Integration into HIV careFirst CD4 count after HIV diagnosis by ethnic group: UK, 2010
Undetectable viral load within one year of ART by exposure group: UK, 2010
Successful care: CD4 count of adults after 1+ years in HIV care by exposure group: UK, 2010
Prompt and late HIV diagnosis in MSM with associated short-term mortality: UK, 2001- 2010
The treatment cascade among HIV positive people in the UK:2010 * Numbers were adjusted by missing information and rounded to the nearest 100. § Viral load <50 copies/ml after HIV treatment initiation in the year of initiation.
