Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the differences of routes of infection(χ2=4.57，P=0.03), AIDS or not(χ2=13.84，P<0.01), ART or not (χ2=91.91，P<0.01), death or not (χ2=113.03，P<0.01), date of death(χ2=46.77，P<0.01), and highest treatment unit( χ2=17.55，P<0.01) were significant. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the differences of ART or not (χ2=15.46，P<0.01)、highest treatment unit (χ2=4.21，P=0.04)、date of death (χ2=7.29，P<0.01) were significant.
