Determinants of loss to care and risk of clinical progression in PLWH who are re-engaged in care after a temporary loss

Abstract The risk of developing AIDS is elevated not only among those with a late HIV diagnosis but also among those lost to care (LTC). The aims were to address the risk of becoming LTC and of clinical progression in LTC patients who re-enter care. Patients were defined as LTC if they had no visit...
