The average age was (35.95±13.37) years old. 53.6% were unmarried . 82.4% were sexual transmission. 82.9% were in clinical phase I. The average M(P25, P75) of CD4+ T cell counts was 271 (139, 391) cells /mm3 on baseline. Median of the interval between HIV confirmation and ART initiation was 1.35 months. Proportion of HIV/AIDS patients that were male, unmarried, the age group above 50 years, homosexual (MSM) transmission, WHO clinical phase I, the interval between the time of HIV confirmation and ART initiation less than or equal to 1 month showed an increasing trend. Proportion of HIV/AIDS patients that baseline CD4+ T cell count less than 200 cells/mm3 showed an downward trend (P<0.001). Conclusions The main patient was young and middle-aged males.
