Objective  To analyze the clinical epidemiological characteristics and trends of newly reported human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients in Panzhihua Central Hospital, and provide a scientific basis for general hospitals to formulate precise prevention and control measures. Methods  The information such as gender, age, ethnicity, and transmission route of the newly reported HIV/AIDS patients in Panzhihua Central Hospital from 2010 to 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. Results  A total of 551545 patients were screened for HIV in Panzhihua Central Hospital between 2010 and 2019, among them, 1091 patients were confirmed as HIV infection finally, with a confirmed positive rate of 0.20%. The number of confirmed cases and the positive rate continued to increase from 2010 to 2017, and obviously declined after 2018. The male to female ratio of newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS patients was 2.86∶1, and the 31-45 years old middle-aged and young adults were the majority (31.16%). The majority of HIV/AIDS patients were identified as married (58.02%), primary school education (40.70%), farmers (46.38%), and Han nationality (79.84%). Yi nationality also had a high proportion (18.52%) with an increasing trend year by year (χ2trend=8.131, P=0.004). Yi nationality patients were mainly from Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (58.42%). A high proportion of 50.32% of patients came from other cities, among them, the proportion of patients from Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture increased over time (χ2trend=13.608, P<0.001). The transmission routes were mainly through heterosexual sex (90.93%), with an upward tendency of proportion (χ2trend=22.137, P<0.001), and transmission through drug abuse was following (4.49%), with an downward tendency of the proportion (χ2trend=11.758, P=0.001). Significant differences in transmission routes were observed between males and females (P=0.020), and between Han nationality and Yi nationality (P<0.001). Conclusion  The newly repored HIV/AIDS patients in Panzhihua Central Hospital have a high proportion of minority nationality, and heterosexual transmission is the main transmission route.
