Abstract

This study aims to determine the epidemiological characteristics of individuals infected with HIV at Dong Da General Hospital, located in Hanoi, Vietnam. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records of 110 HIV-positive patients attending the hospital between 2/2022 to 9/2022. Demographic information, paraclinical results associated with HIV transmission were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and appropriate inferential tests were employed to examine the distribution of key variables. Results: The proportion of male patients was 62.7%, while the proportion of female patients was 37.3%. The average age was 43.07 ± 9.54. There was a correlation between gender and age group distribution within the study population: female patients accounted for the highest proportion in the 35-44 age group (58.5%), whereas male patients had the highest proportion in the 45 and older age group (43.5%). Unsafe sexual intercourse accounted for 65.2% of transmissions, 17.27% were due to injection drug use, and 11.82% had unknown transmission routes. There was a correlation between gender and transmission routes. The proportion of patients co-infected with hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis was 30.9%. The average treatment duration for male patients was 7.78 ± 4.155, lower than that for female patients at 9.41 ± 3.578, indicating a correlation between gender and treatment duration. Understanding the epidemiological profile of HIV-infected patients in this healthcare setting is crucial for informing public health strategies and enhancing targeted interventions aimed at HIV prevention and control.
