Factors Associated With Loss to Follow-Up Among People Living With HIV in a National Tertiary Care Hospital: Protocol and Baseline Analysis of a Prospective Cohort Study
This protocol outlines a prospective cohort study to evaluate factors associated with LTFU among people living with HIV in a Mexican tertiary care setting. The baseline findings highlight substantial socioeconomic, clinical, and psychosocial vulnerabilities that may compromise long-term retention in care. The longitudinal follow-up of this cohort will provide context-specific evidence to inform targeted interventions aimed at improving engagement in care and reducing LTFU in similar populations.
