Prevalence of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) at HIV diagnosis in individuals 18–40 years old: a possible HIV indicator condition

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Near 25% of the 38 million of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are unaware of their HIV status 1 . Late diagnosis reduces treatment outcomes and increases healthcare costs and transmission rates. Routine testing for conditions that are considered indicators in an HIV prevalence of >0.1% is recognized to be cost-effective and has the potential to increase earlier diagnosis of HIV 2 .
