3 Washington D.C., USA, 22-27 July 2012www.aids2012.org Impact of HIV in MSM The HIV epidemic is not homogeneously distributed among society MSM living in low- to middle-income countries have a greater risk of HIV infection than the general population of these countries MSM were found to have a 19.3-times greater chance of being infected with HIV than the general population In some countries MSM have A 100-times greater chance of being infected (Republic of Georgia: 24-times greater chance; Republic of Senegal: 27-times; China: 45-times; México: 109-times more chance) Stefan Baral et al. Elevated Risk for HIV Infection among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Low- and Middle-Income Countries 2000–2006: A Systematic Review PLoS Medicine, Vol. 4, No. 12. (1 December 2007), e339. 3

5 Washington D.C., USA, 22-27 July 2012www.aids2012.org Does the incidence depend on individual behavior? No, it also depends on the Community Viral Load (CVL) Within this context, even modest levels of sexual risk- taking can result in very high transmission rates It is the context that matters, not just the individual risk-taking behavior “HIV is increasing among MSM not because of greater risk-taking behavior, but simply because HIV is so prevalent among their sex partners that even one or two slip-ups can have devastating consequences.” Susan Buchbinder FDA Advisory Committee for PrEP approval 10th May 2012 5

9 Washington D.C., USA, 22-27 July 2012www.aids2012.org Why a Community Based Centre of HIV detection for MSM? Significant MSM community in Barcelona High HIV prevalence and incidence in MSM Key population at risk (Prevalence > 5%) High Community Viral Load Group of population traditionally oppressed and marginalized Denial of sex education and lack of adequate health care Early detection of HIV (individual and collective impact) Peer counseling for MSM for an effective risk reduction 9

28 Washington D.C., USA, 22-27 July 2012www.aids2012.org Summary (1) ► BCN Checkpoint shows high efficiency in HIV detection: Small number of tests achieve a high positivity rate Increase in the absolute number of HIV cases over the years Significant proportion of HIV cases in BCN Checkpoint regarding reported cases among MSM in Catalonia ► The intervention model of BCN Checkpoint helps very significantly in the early diagnosis of HIV among MSM and contributes to the prevention of new infections ► The experience of BCN Checkpoint can be useful not just for MSM but also for other hard to reach key populations 28

29 Washington D.C., USA, 22-27 July 2012www.aids2012.org Summary (2) ► Quality of the service and the development of Best Practices are very important ► A community HTC approach for the key populations gives better results and is more cost/effective than an approach to the general public ► Health Authorities should provide adequate funding for CBC, and communities should get involved actively in its development ► HIV Testing & Counseling in CBC should be part of national prevention policies 29
