We assessed the efficiency of BCN Checkpoint in detecting new cases of HIV infection and efficiently linking newly diagnosed individuals to care.
This study analysed during 2007-2012 the number of tests performed and the number of persons tested in BCN Checkpoint, the HIV prevalence, global and in first visits, the capacity of HIV detection compared to the reported cases in MSM in Catalonia, and the linkage to care rate.
During the six years a total of 17.319 tests were performed and 618 HIV-positive cases were detected. Median prevalence of clients who visited the centre for the first time was 5.4% (4.1-5.8). BCN Checkpoint detected 36.3% (35.0-40.4) of all reported cases in MSM during 2009-2011. Linkage to care was achieved directly in 90.5% of the cases and only 2.4% of cases were lost to follow-up.
A community-based centre, addressed to a key population at risk, can be less effort consuming (time and funding) and show high efficiency in HIV detection and linkage to care.
评估 BCN Checkpoint 在检测新的 HIV 感染病例和有效地将新诊断个体与护理联系起来方面的效率。
本研究分析了 2007 年至 2012 年期间在 BCN Checkpoint 进行的检测数量和受检人数、HIV 流行率、全球和首次就诊中的流行率、与在加泰罗尼亚报告的男男性行为者中报告的病例相比的 HIV 检测能力，以及与护理的关联率。
在六年期间，共进行了 17319 次检测，发现了 618 例 HIV 阳性病例。首次就诊的客户中位数患病率为 5.4%（4.1-5.8）。BCN Checkpoint 在 2009 年至 2011 年期间检测到了所有报告的男男性行为者病例中的 36.3%（35.0-40.4）。90.5%的病例直接与护理联系，只有 2.4%的病例失访。
针对高危重点人群的社区为基础的中心在 HIV 检测和与护理联系方面可以消耗更少的精力（时间和资金），并显示出高效率。
