Survival time and influencing factors among people living with HIV in Guilin City, Guangxi, China: a retrospective cohort study (1996–2022)

Survival time of PLWH is affected by many factors. In the context of the continuous improvement of policies and measures of Guilin City's anti-HIV attack project, behavioral interventions for key populations as well as publicity in rural areas should be strengthened, and early detection and treatment should be advocated in order to improve the quality of survival of PLWH and prolong their survival time. The findings of this study can provide scientific evidence for optimizing HIV prevention and control strategies in similar settings.
