This study examined the prevalence of HIV late diagnosis (LD) and identified associated factors with LD among people living with HIV (PLWH). We extracted sociodemographic, epidemiological, and immunological information between 2018 and 2021 in Hunan, China from the HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System of China. The chi-squared test and multivariable logistic regression model were used to identify the factors associated with LD. Among 22,504 PLWH, 14,988 (66.6%) were diagnosed late. PLWH aged 50 and older had a higher proportion of LD (71.2%) than the younger group (60.0%). Older age, being male, Han ethnicity, being registered in Western Hunan, being transferred from health facilities, and being infected through heterosexual intercourse were associated with LD. Among PLWH younger than 50 years, apart from the factors mentioned above, individuals who had primary school or lower education, were non-student, and were divorced or widowed were more likely to be diagnosed late. Unlike younger PLWH, these factors were not associated with LD in the older group. But regional disparities in LD were more significant among them. LD in PLWH remains a severe issue, especially among older people. The study findings provided valuable insights into designing programs targeting groups at higher risk of LD to reduce its prevalence.
