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...
