Opportunity for HIV testing proposal. Opportunity for HIV testing proposal based on (a) group at high risk of acquiring HIV (asymptomatic MSM) and (b) any possibly HIV-related condition, among the 994 patients who had contact with the healthcare system in the three years prior to HIV diagnosis. When considering opportunities for HIV testing based on a high-risk group, only patients with no HIV-related conditions in the three years prior to HIV diagnosis were included in the analysis. When considering opportunities for HIV testing based on a HIV-related condition, the first (oldest) symptom reported in the 3-year to 3-month period prior to HIV diagnosis was included in the analysis.aPatients were a posteriori known not infected for HIV at the first contact when they reported a negative HIV test after this contact or they diagnosed for HIV at acute stage. Others were considered to be possibly infected. bMedian CD4 count at diagnosis, cells/μL.
