Objective:

To assess the prevalence of late HIV diagnosis and identify associated factors among newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve individuals with HIV-1 in Cabo Verde.

Key Findings:
  • Being single (aOR: 2.79; 95% CI: 1.13–6.92; p = 0.027) and having viral load ≥5.0 log copies/mL (aOR: 5.24; 95% CI: 1.80–15.25; p = 0.002) were independently associated with late HIV diagnosis.
Interpretation:

Remove this section as it includes unsupported conclusions.

Limitations:
  • The study's cross-sectional design limits causal inferences.
  • Data collection was restricted to four islands, which may not represent the entire population of Cabo Verde.
Conclusion:

Remove this section as it includes unsupported recommendations.
