Özet

Objective: The late diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and, therefore, initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the advanced stages of the disease is still a significant problem in many countries. This study aimed to define the prevalence of late presentation and advanced HIV disease among newly diagnosed HIV infected patients.
