Description
Jing Zhang and co-authors study late HIV finding among men who have sex with men in Chengdu, China, in work dated 2025. Care is now easier to reach, yet late finding stays common. The team met 285 men with HIV face to face and asked about schooling, sex life, mood, and views of self. Blood counts at first care marked who came late.
More than half came late. Late care tracked with stronger shame tied to same-sex life and with stronger self-blame. Low schooling and weak HIV knowledge also tracked with late care. Men with no worry signs were far less apt to come late. The authors urge care that cuts shame and lifts knowledge.
