Inpatient Morbidity among HIV-Infected Male Soldiers prior to their Diagnosis ofHIV Infection

摘要

A natural history study of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease was carriedout among 1575 HIV-infected US Army men and 6220 demographically similar uninfected soldiers. Inpatient morbidity occurring up to 8 years prior to the date of HIV infection diagnosis among those men who became HIV infected was evaluated for both groups. Sixteen diagnoses/diagnosis categories occurred statistically more frequently among subsequently HIV diagnosed individuals than among those who remain uninfected.
