Registre belge des diagnostics de VIH

Depuis le début de l'épidémie de VIH en Belgique, le profil de cette épidémie a connu de nombreux changements. Il est largement admis que les interventions visant à maîtriser l'épidémie doivent s'appuyer sur des données et se concentrer sur l'épidémiologie nationale et locale. C'est pourquoi la surveillance des diagnostics de VIH constitue un outil important. Les nouveaux diagnostics de VIH sont signalés par les laboratoires de référence pour le sida (LRS). Conformément à l'arrêté royal fixant les critères de reconnaissance des laboratoires de référence pour le VIH/sida (du 8 octobre 1996), les laboratoires de référence pour le sida (LRS) sont tenus de confirmer et de signaler tous les nouveaux diagnostics de VIH. La convention entre l'INAMI et les LRA stipule que ces données doivent être transmises à Sciensano. Sciensano fait office de « point de contact national pour la surveillance du VIH » pour le Centre européen de prévention et de contrôle des maladies (ECDC) et de « point focal national pour le suivi et l'évaluation du VIH/sida » pour l'OMS Europe.

Population Coverage
Since 1985 notifications of new HIV diagnoses are collected. Registration is done via the 7 AIDS Reference Laboratories, which gives a complete picture of the total number of diagnosed HIV-positive persons in Belgium.
Purposes

  • The processing of HIV data is done to fulfil a public health task of general interest. The collection, compilation and analysis of HIV data should make it possible to expand knowledge of the Belgian HIV epidemic. On this basis, the competent authorities will have accurate and up-to-date information to guide the management of HIV, taking into account epidemiological trends and the most recent evolutions.

Provenance
  • The data on persons with a new HIV diagnosis in Belgium are based on registration of new HIV diagnoses by the AIDS Reference Laboratories (ARL). In Belgium there are seven ARL. One of their tasks is to perform confirmatory testing of all sera reactive in an HIV screening test. The ARL report the result of laboratory tests and basic demographic information directly. In addition, they collect more detailed information about the patient from the physician who requested the diagnostic confirmation test.
