HIV prevalence among first ‐presentation psychotic patients

ConclusionsCo‐occurrence of HIV infection was a frequent finding in first‐episode psychotic individuals residing in a high‐prevalence HIV setting. These individuals are more likely to have an underlying medical condition precipitating the onset of psychosis, not to have been initiated on antiretroviral therapy and to present with a low CD4 cell count and high HIV viral load.
