This technical document consists of epidemiological profiles (fact-sheets) for States and districts based on information available from multiple data sources including the HIV Sentinel Surveillance (HSS) and the In...tegrated Biological and Behavioural Surveillance (IBBS). Given the need for focussed prevention efforts in low/high prevalence and vulnerable States/districts, the information presented will be useful for policy makers, program planners at national/State/ district level, researchers, and academicians in identification of areas for priority attention and also to derive meaningful conclusions for programme planning, implementation, monitoring and scale-up. This document will be a quick reference for the HIV/AIDS situation in a State/district, risk and safe behaviour of the high risk groups, their level of knowledge about STIs and HIV/AIDS, experience of violence, HIV testing and ART awareness and exposure to HIV/AIDS prevention.

Le Gouvernement du Burkina Faso a pris en compte au niveau du deuxième axe stratégique du Plan National de Développement Economique et Social (PNDES) 2016 – 2020 la nécessité de développer des actions allant dans le sens de la mitigation de l’impact du VIH sur les... populations. Deux CSLS successifs couvrant les périodes 2001-2005 et 2006 – 2010 ont été mis en œuvre contribuant de manière significative à baisser et à stabiliser la progression de la pandémie, en ramenant le taux de séroprévalence de 7,17% en 1997 à 0.90% en fin 2014 selon les estimations de l’ONUSIDA. Malgré cette évolution positive, le Burkina Faso demeure en situation d’épidémie généralisée. Ce même rapport mentionne que le nombre de PVVIH est estimé à 110.000, dont 57.000 femmes. 75.000 enfants sont estimés orphelins du fait du Sida. L’EDS IV réalisée en 2010 note que la prévalence en population générale présente des disparités selon le sexe. En effet, les femmes ont une prévalence de 1.2% contre 0.8% chez les hommes d’où un ratio H/F de 1.5 confirmant ainsi la théorie de la féminisation de l’infection pour des raisons à la fois socio-économiques et biologiques. Une étude récente conduite par le SP/CNLS ciblant les travailleuses du sexe (TS) a montré une prévalence au VIH de 16,19%, c’est à dire plus de 16 fois celle en population générale.

The objective of the study was the validation and implementation of GeneXpert MTB/RIF for routine use in the rapid detection of tuberculosis and sensitivity to rifampicin in clinical samples; for this, 1592 respiratory samples were collected and analyzed in the laboratory of Instituto Nacional de In...vestigación en Salud Pública Guayaquil. The analysis of the results of GeneXpert in comparison with smear microscopy showed an initial sensitivity of 99.8% and specificity of 93.2%; The analysis of discrepancies using the results of the culture as a reference method showed that the GeneXpert results considered false negatives turned out to be true negatives, the same happens with the false positives that correspond to true positives. Recalculated the sensitivity and specificity of the GeneXpert was 99.8% and 100% correspondingly. The comparison with the drugs susceptibility test showed a sensitivity of 91.4% and a specificity of 95.5% for the GeneXpert MTB/RIF system. It is concluded that the implementation of the GeneXpert system allows solution to certain problems associated with the application of conventional diagnostic methodologies, decreasing the waiting times, and increasing the sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis, thus generating a valuable opportunity for early diagnosis.
