Sex-based epidemiological and immunovirological characteristics of people living with HIV in current follow-up at a tertiary hospital: a comparative retrospective study, Catalonia, Spain, 1982 to 2020.

The viral load at diagnosis was lower in the women (median: 4.47 log 10 copies/mL; IQR: 3.77–5.15) than in the men (median: 4.73 log 10 copies/mL; IQR: 4.13–5.28), and this difference was statistically significant in all periods ( Table 1 ), except for in the period of 2005–2009, in which, despite clinical relevance, the p value was close to being statistically significant though not (p = 0.055) ( Figure 5-C ).
