Article Synopsis
- The HIV epidemic remains a major global health concern, and this study focuses on the socio-demographic and clinical profiles of HIV patients at the Bayamón Health Care facilities over a 12-year period.
- The research analyzes trends in demographics, risk factors, clinical stages, and mortality rates, particularly emphasizing the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on patient outcomes.
- Findings indicate an older patient population with increasing female representation and a rise in heterosexual transmission; ART significantly reduces mortality risk, yet those with AIDS and intravenous drug use exhibit higher mortality.
