Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed factors affecting delayed HIV diagnosis in Venezuela, finding that 41% of patients presented late due to limited access to care despite the availability of a free national program.
- Older age, male heterosexuality, lower socio-economic status, perceived faithfulness of partners, and living far from care centers were linked to late diagnosis.
- Barriers such as low awareness of HIV/AIDS, misconceptions about the free program, fear of stigma, and logistical issues significantly impeded timely HIV testing.
