Summary

People in Administrative Detention Centers often come from areas of medium or high HIV, hepatitis C \& B endemic, and are often unaware of their serological status. Currently, HIV, hepatitis C \& B screening is not systematically performed at the CRA of Nîmes, and when performed, serological tests are used. The main disadvantage of this method is the length of time it takes to obtain the results, with subjects frequently discharged before receiving their results. To improve the care of these vulnerable persons, the aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B in the detainees of the administrative detention center of Nîmes, by systematically screening with a rapid diagnosis test. In case of a positive rapid diagnosis test test, a serology test will confirm the rapid diagnosis test result.
