Note: For HAART measure, adult HIV patients had to be enrolled in an HIV Network clinic, receive at least one CD4 test, and have at<br />
least one outpatient visit in addition to having at least one CD4 test result of 350 or less.<br />
n Overall, in 2008, nearly 90% of people with HIV had two or more outpatient visits during the year,<br />
and 83% of people with HIV had two or more CD4 tests during the year (Figure 2.22). In addition,<br />
89% of people with HIV in care received HAART, 95% of people with HIV and CD4 count less<br />
than 200 received PCP prophylaxis, and 90% of people with HIV and CD4 count less than 50<br />
received MAC prophylaxis.<br />
n In 2008, there were no statistically significant differences by race/ethnicity in the percentage of<br />
people with HIV receiving recommended services.<br />
n In 2008, the rate for people with HIV who had two or more CD4 tests during the year was lower<br />
than the rates for all other recommended services for HIV care, at approximately 83% for both<br />
males and females.<br />
n In 2008, there were no statistically significant gender differences in the percentage of people with<br />
HIV receiving recommended services.<br />
