Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to track the long-term outcomes of HIV-1 infection among intravenous drug users (IDUs) in Yunnan province, China, beginning in late 1989, focusing on survival factors.
- Over a 20-year follow-up of 196 initial subjects, 90.3% died, with notable causes of death including diseases like malaria and septicemia, as well as drug overdoses.
- Findings indicated that median survival times were shorter than those typically seen in developed countries, with older age at infection linked to reduced survival.
