In 2008\u20132010, only 54% of 108\u2009116 persons who tested HIV<\/jats:styled-content> positive enrolled in care at AIDS C<\/jats:styled-content>enters in U<\/jats:styled-content>kraine, and almost half of new AIDS<\/jats:styled-content> cases are found in patients with first\u2010time HIV<\/jats:styled-content> diagnoses. We aimed to identify factors associated with delayed enrolment in HIV<\/jats:styled-content> care in O<\/jats:styled-content>dessa R<\/jats:styled-content>egion, U<\/jats:styled-content>kraine.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>We conducted a retrospective data analysis of patients who enrolled in HIV<\/jats:styled-content> care in 1995\u20132010, comparing patients on the basis of the reported route of HIV<\/jats:styled-content> transmission (injecting drug use or sexual transmission).

The mean delay in enrolment in care among PWID<\/jats:styled-content> increased over time for men and women; their mean age at the time of enrolment also gradually increased.
