TL;DR
It is found that most HIV-infected adults who were receiving medical care had advanced disease, and the patient population was disproportionately male, black, and poor.
Abstract
In this national survey we found that most HIV-infected adults who were receiving medical care had advanced disease. The patient population was disproportionately male, black, and poor. Many Americans with diagnosed or undiagnosed HIV infection are not receiving medical care at least as often as every six months. The total cost of medical care for HIV-infected Americans accounts for less than 1 percent of all direct personal health expenditures in the United States.
