RESUMO
Our findings show that despite the numerous advances in the management of HIV disease, this has not resulted in earlier presentation in Africans or non-Africans. African patients are still presenting with significantly more advanced disease than non-Africans, and are more likely to have AIDS at presentation in 1998-1999 than in 1982-1995. An urgent need exists to identify the factors associated with delayed presentation, both to optimize clinical outcomes and reduce the possibility of onward transmission.
