Predicting Treatment and Care Difficulties Among HIV Infected Patients

Completed

• Conditions: HIV

• Registration Number: NCT02900599
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier de Cayenne

Brief Summary

Much of HIV is related to behaviour: sexual risk taking, late diagnosis, adherence to antiretroviral therapy, follow up, disclosure of one's HIV status. The project aimed to use various psychometric tools to determine if these scores have a predictive value on late testing, treatment succes, quality of follow up, and disclosure of HIV to sex partners. The expected outcomes would be to be able to stratify patients using a behavioural risk score and allocate targeted ressources to improve the quality of care for the most at risk patients.
