People living with HIV in Brent PCT
The project was a point prevalence audit for 2011 of the number of people in Brent with HIV with one or more co-morbidityThis project explored the sociodemographic differences among people in Brent with HIV with one or more co-morbidity. Data were collected from a range of local HIV services for a total of 982 patients. Results identified that 29% of PLWHA in Brent have at least one co-morbidity, which was more likely in male, older and White patients (except for diabetes which was more common in Asian groups).
Hepatitis was most common, followed by CVD, although mental health issues were also common. This work will inform future commissioning of HIV services in the area.
