Summary

In 2013 in France, 29,000 people are reported to be unaware of their HIV status. HIV testing is a priority in France where one third of all diagnoses remain late despite 5 million annual tests. It is recommended to offer at least one HIV test to the general population, over the life course, when seeking care and more frequently to populations at risk. Several international and national articles have shown that emergency screening is feasible and well accepted. But also that during systematic screening few infections were discovered, and the majority of newly diagnosed people belonged to the most exposed groups. Our hypothesis is that an electronic alert would identify people who are unaware of their HIV status. This alert would be based on two data: social data (French health coverage) and the country of birth. This alert is only relevant in high-prevalence regions, as is the case in the Ile de France region.
