Overview
Ciele: Cieľom pilotného projektu bolo zvýšiť testovanie ako aj prepojenie so zdravotnou starostlivosťou o novodiagnostikované osoby s infekciou HIV/HCV/syfilisu a tiež zlepšiť zber a prenos údajov pomocou štandardných nástrojov zberu údajov z komunitných centier poskytujúcich dobrovoľné poradenstvo a testovanie (CBVCT) do národného epidemiologického a monitorovacieho systému.
Metódy: Integrované dobrovoľné anonymné testovanie z krvi na HIV, HCV a syfilis bolo realizované pomocou rýchlych testov v období 6 mesiacov (03/2019 až 8/2019). Účastníkom s reaktívnymi výsledkami sa odporučilo, aby navštívili špecialistu za účelom potvrdenia diagnózy a nasadenia terapie.
Výsledky: Otestovaných bolo 675 klientov na HIV, 410 na HCV a 457 na syfilis. Medián veku účastníkov sa pohyboval od 24 do 35,6 (IQR:24), 75,3 % z nich bolo mužov, 23,7 % žien a 0,6 % transrodových ľudí. Z hľadiska rizika akvírovania testovaných infekcii 48,9 % zo 675 klientov boli muži majúci styk s mužmi (MSM), 0,3 % osoby pracujúce v sex-biznise (SW), 9,0 % injekční užívatelia drog (PWID), 2,4 % migranti (Mi) a 8,3 % klientov uvádzalo kombináciu týchto rizík. Pilotný projekt odhalil infekciu HIV u 0,4 %, HCV u 2,4 % a T. pallidum u 1,8 % klientov. Len 2 klienti, s potvrdenou HIV infekciou boli prepojení s následnou zdravotnou starostlivosťou. Najvyššia prevalencia HIV bola zistená u MSM/Mi (4,2 %), HCV u PWID (30,8 %) a syfilisu u SW/PWID (7,1 %). Bezkondómový styk so SW, PWID, MSM a HIV pozitívnymi za posledných 12 mesiacov uviedlo 5/92, 41/82, 3/78 a 0/88 odpovedajúcich klientov. Výsledky štúdie boli zahrnuté do ročnej národnej epidemiologickej správy.
Záver: Pilotný projekt odhalil potrebu podpory integrovaného testovania v CBVCT, prekonania prekážok pri potvrdzujúcom testovaní a prepojení so zdravotnou starostlivosťou ako aj potrebu integrácie základných údajov v rámci monitorovania a hodnotenia (M&E) testovania v CBVCT do národných systémov surveillance na Slovensku.
