The study aims to investigate late diagnosis trends among older adults living with HIV in Southwest China and evaluate the impact of expanded testing strategies.
Retrospective analysis of data from 26,233 newly diagnosed older adults living with HIV between 2010 and 2023.
Used multilevel logistic regression to identify factors associated with late diagnosis.
Conducted latent class analysis as a sensitivity analysis to ensure result robustness.
Late diagnosis rate declined from 2010 to 2023 (p for trend < 0.05).
Post-strategy period (2018–2023) showed lower odds of late diagnosis compared to pre-strategy (aOR = 0.900).
Lower odds of late diagnosis were associated with primary education or below across all age groups.
