Background: Because of its negative impact on HIV-related morbidity and mortality, late presentation to HIV care (LP) can be an obstacle to the HIV epidemic elimination by 2030. We assessed the prevalence and associated factors of LP in HIV-infected adults enrolled at the “Centre Medical oasis”, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Methods: A cross-sectional study among HIV-infected persons aged 18 years or older, naïve for antiretroviral treatment (ART), and presented for the first time at the HIV clinic was conducted between 2015 and 2019. LP referred to HIV-infected adults presenting with CD4+ cells count < 350 /µl or WHO clinical 3 or 4 regardless of the CD4+ cell count. Late presentation to HIV care with advanced disease (LP-AD) included those with CD4+ cells count < 200 /µl or WHO clinical 3 or 4 regardless of the CD4+ cell count. Factors associated with LP were identified using logistic regressions models. Results: A total of 357 patients with median age of 34 years (interquartile range [IQR] 28-42) were included. 234 (65.6%) patients were female. Median CD4+ cell count was 305/µl (IQR 142-482). Of the 357 patients, 183 presented late to HIV care, giving a LP prevalence of 51.3% (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 45.9-56.6). Among the latter, 117 (63.9%) patients had also advanced disease. Factors associated with LP were older age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.50, 95% CI 1.33-4.71, P = 0.004), low educational level (aOR 1.99, 95% CI 1.23-3.21, P = 0.005), single status (aOR 2.07, 95% CI 1.18-3.63, P = 0.011), and family support (aOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.14-3.27, P = 0.014). Conclusion: LP and LP-AD are high among HIV-infected adults in Burkina Faso. Health authorities should urgently develop effective strategies to improve HIV testing, linkage to care, and ART initiation. They should prioritize targeting single young adults with low education.
