Patients were considered to be retained in care if they had>=1 clinical visit, laboratory markers (VL and/or CD4 count) and/or ARVs pick-up during the year after their first clinical visit. Each patient address's latitude-longitude was obtained using Google Maps® web service. Home-hospital distance and travel time were obtained with Google Maps Distance Matrix API® service.Results: Of 1020 patients who started follow-up, 15 died and 158 were transferred to another site. Of the remaining, 816 (96.3%) had identifiable address in their electronic medical record. Median age at the time of the first visit was 33 (IQR 27-41) years, 654 (77.9%) patients were male. Median home-hospital distance was 10.3 (IQR 4.4-34.7) km and median travel time was 58.5 (IQR 35-102.5) minutes. 730 patients (89.5%; CI 87.1-91.5%) remained in follow-up after 1 year of their first visit. We didńt find association between travel time and home-hospital distance with retention in this population.Conclusions: In our study, distance between home and the care center was not associated with lower retention one year after first visit in adult HIV patients attending a public hospital.","PeriodicalId":72064,"journal":{"name":"Actualizaciones en SIDA e infectologia","volume":"26 98","pages":"54-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9886959/pdf/nihms-1868025.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9209529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 500 men who have sex with men were recruited through Respondent Driven Sampling into this study on factors associated with HIV infection. Among participants, 24.5 % identified as gay, 36.2 % as bisexual, 21.9 % as heterosexual, and 17.4 % as \"other\"; 33 % reported having sex with men, women, and transgender women during the prior two months. Prevalence of HIV, Hepatitis B, and syphilis was 17.3 %, 22.9 %, and 20.5 %, respectively; rates were significantly higher among participants who only had male sex partners. Over two-thirds of participants reported unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse during the prior two months, and 52 %had never been tested for HIV. Twenty-five percent reported heavy drinking, and 34 % reported poly-drug use during the past two months. Eighteen percent of participants reported a sexual experience prior to the age of thirteen with a partner who was at least four years older. Acceptability of microbicides and HIV home testing was high.","PeriodicalId":72064,"journal":{"name":"Actualizaciones en SIDA e infectologia","volume":"24 91","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6467296/pdf/nihms927030.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41221537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
