Washington D.C. [USA], Oct. 7 : A new research at the University of California has found that patients diagnosed late in the course of HIV infection are more likely to transmit HIV to others since they are

Further, these patients are at an increased risk of negative health outcomes such as premature death, increased risk of HIV transmission, and opportunistic infections such as Kaposi's sarcoma, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and toxoplasmosis.
