Description
Jingkun Hu and co-authors survey, in a 2024 study, people living with HIV in China who switched from free drug therapy to therapy paid through medical insurance. China now offers free, insured, and self-paid routes for these drugs. The team asked who switches and why, across eighteen cities in six provinces, to guide policy.
About seventeen percent of the 1,371 people surveyed had switched. Switchers differed in schooling, job type, insurance kind, income, and distance to their hospital. Staff of government or public bodies were more than twice as likely to switch as others. Drug side effects and the level of the treating hospital also mattered. The results map where insurance uptake needs support.
