Migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa in the Swiss HIV cohort study : a single center study of epidemiologic migration-specific and clinical features
N. Egloff, H. Furrer, C. Kopp, M. Rickenbach, C. Staehelin
An increasing number of HIV-positive migrants reside in Switzerland. The described study examines epidemiologic, clinical and migration-specific characteristics of HIV-infected migrants. A majority of HIV-positive migrants were most likely infected prior to arrival in Switzerland. Sub-Saharan Africans and Southeast Asians were often diagnosed to be HIV-positive after showing suggestive symptoms of infection, while European patients were more often diagnosed in a screening setting.
