Key: HAART = highly active antiretroviral therapy; PCP = Pneumocystis pneumonia; MAC = Mycobacterium avium complex.<br />

Source: Agency for <strong><strong>Health</strong>care</strong> Research and Quality, HIV Research Network, 2008.<br />

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 />

Also, in the NHQR:<br />

n In 2008, there were no statistically significant differences by age in the percentage of people with<br />
