One-quarter of adolescents presented late for HIV care in Spain. Early adolescents, middle adolescents, and those born abroad presented a sevenfold, twofold, and twofold higher risk of being cLP, respectively. Enhancing the awareness of HIV risk and the access to care, especially for younger and foreign adolescents, could help reduce late presentation and tackle the adolescent HIV epidemic.
