Multicenter Study[HIV infection in immigrants in Spain: Epidemiological characteristics and clinical presentation in the CoRIS Cohort (2004-2006)].
A growing number of immigrants are using the public health services for HIV in Spain. We describe the sociodemographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of a cohort of naïve HIV-infected subjects (CoRIS cohort) according to their place of origin. ⋯ Almost one third of naïve HIV-infected patients in CoRIS are foreign-born. Their sociodemographic, epidemiological and clinical characteristics reflect the epidemic in their places of origin. However, their immunological status at cohort entry and initiation of HAART is no different from that of Spaniards.
