Management of HIV/AIDS.

Aust Fam Physician

University of Sydney, New South Wales.

Published: August 2009

Male patients accounted for 96.4% of all encounters where HIV/AIDS was managed. Patients in the 25-44 years age group and 45-64 years age group had the highest management rates of HIV/AIDS (54.6% and 40.6% respectively). Just over half the patients who had HIV/AIDS managed, held a Commonwealth Government concession card, which is 10% more than the total patients sampled in BEACH. Patients were more likely to live in a major city than the total BEACH sample. Most of the patients had been diagnosed previously, with only 2.7% of them indicated as newly diagnosed, and patients were more likely to have their problem managed at the same practice, with 98% of patients having been seen previously at the practice, compared with 92% of the total BEACH sample.
