AB Long term patient HIV data was divided into 3 groups based on their
current CD4 count. The results survey the epidemiological differences
between groups and focus on differences between current and initial CD4
levels. Little data has been published on CD4 counts. Surveying Qld
patients diagnosed with AIDS post 1/1/89 showed a higher survival rate
(40% after 4 years) compared with pre 1/1/89 patients (11.9% after 4
years). Both curves are negative exponential with level cut-off periods
of 24 months and 48 months respectively and exhibits an interesting
group displaying extended longevity. A survey of Qld AIDS patients
survival times prior and post 30/6/87, a date approximating Australian
AZT introduction, was compared against Australian figures. Results
showed significantly lower Qld survival times which is attributed to the
late introduction/uptake of AZT into Qld.
