OBJECTIVES: This study sought to describe the characteristics of HIV-infected persons who delay medical care for themselves because they are caring for others. METHODS: HIV-infected adults (n = 2864) enrolled in the HIV Cost and Services Utilization Study (1996-1997) were interviewed. RESULTS: The odds were 1.6 times greater for women than for men to put off care (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.2, 2.2); persons without insurance and with CD4 cell counts above 500 were also significantly more likely to put off care. Having a child in the household was associated with putting off care (odds ratio [OR] = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.4, 2.3). CONCLUSIONS: Women or individuals with a child in the household should be offered services that might allow them to avoid delays in seeking their own medical care.
