Overrepresentation of Injection Drug Use Route of Infection Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus Long-term Nonprogressors: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study in China 1989–2016

摘要

BackgroundWhy some persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH) progress quickly and others remain “healthy” for a decade or more without treatment remains a fundamental question of HIV pathology. We aimed to assess the epidemiological characteristics of HIV long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs) based on a cohort of PLWH in China observed between 1989 and 2016.
