Risk factors for late-stage HIV disease presentation at initial HIV diagnosis in Durban, South Africa.
<h4>Background</h4>After observing persistently low CD4 counts at initial HIV diagnosis in South Africa, we sought to determine risk factors for late-stage HIV disease presentation among adults.<h4>Methods</h4>We surveyed adults prior to HIV testing at four outpatient clinics...

All HIV-infected adults were offered CD4 testing, and late-stage HIV disease was defined as a CD4 count <100 cells/mm(3).
