Resumen:
Introduction: This study sought to analyse differences in epidemiology and survival between womenand men living with HIV (WLHIV and MLHIV) in the CoRIS cohort and the course of their disease over a 10-year period.
Methods: Variables of interest between WLHIV and MLHIV were compared. A trend analysis was performed using the Mantel-Haenszel test. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and a Cox regression analysis were used to study survival.
Results: A total of 10,469 people were enrolled; of them, 1,742 (16.6%) were women. At the time of enrolment in the cohort, WLHIV, compared to MLHIV, had higher rates of transmission due to intravenous drug use (IDU), hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection, AIDS-stage disease and foreign origin. They also had a worse immunovirological status and a lower educational level. These differences were maintained in the trend study. Regarding age, the women included in the cohort were older whereas the men were younger. In the comparative analysis between women according to place of origin, we found that the group of Spanish WLHIV featured older women with higher rates of IDU transmission and HCV coinfection, whereas the group of WLHIV born outside of Spain featured women with higher rates of syphilis infection. There were no major differences in relation to other characteristics such as educational level or disease status. Although sex was not a determinant of survival, conditions more prevalent in women were determinants of survival.
Conclusions: HIV-infected women presented at diagnosis with certain epidemiological and HIV-associated characteristics that made them more vulnerable. These trends became more marked or did not improve during the years of observation. (C) 2020 Sociedad Espanola de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiologia Clinica.
