This study investigates the impact of the age at which HIV was acquired on adherence. There was no difference in adherence between patients who acquired HIV in childhood vs. those who acquired it in adolescence/early adulthood (83% vs. 90%; p = 0.24), but achievement of virological/immunological efficacy (78.8% vs. 93.5%, p = 0.02) was less likely in patients who had acquired HIV in childhood. On the basis of resistance, patients who acquired HIV in adolescence/early adulthood tended to be more eligible for cabotegravir/rilpivirine treatment (90.3% vs. 80.3%; p = 0.11).

Keywords: patients acquired; acquired hiv; early adulthood; treatment; adolescence early; hiv childhood
