Less than half of people living with HIV in the United States are being retained in ongoing medical care, according to a new analysis by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigators published online ahead of print by the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. The sobering statistics, which include the finding that only two thirds of people testing positive for HIV are being successfully linked to medical care within a year of their diagnosis, help explain those of another recent CDC analysis indicating that only 28 percent of U.S. residents living with HIV have undetectable viral loads.
