Belgisch hiv-diagnoseregister

Sinds het uitbreken van de hiv-epidemie in België heeft het profiel van deze epidemie vele veranderingen ondergaan. Algemeen wordt aangenomen dat maatregelen ter bestrijding van de epidemie op gegevens moeten zijn gebaseerd en gericht moeten zijn op de nationale en lokale epidemiologie. Daarom is surveillance van hiv-diagnoses een belangrijk instrument. Nieuwe hiv-diagnoses worden gerapporteerd door de aidsreferentielaboratoria (ARL's). Overeenkomstig het koninklijk besluit betreffende de vaststelling van de criteria voor de erkenning van hiv/aidsreferentielaboratoria (dd. 8/10/1996) zijn aidsreferentielaboratoria (ARL's) verplicht alle nieuwe hiv-diagnoses te bevestigen en te rapporteren. De overeenkomst tussen RIZIV-INAMI en de ARL's bepaalt dat deze gegevens moeten worden doorgegeven aan Sciensano. Sciensano fungeert als ‘Nationaal Contactpunt voor hiv-surveillance’ voor het Europees Centrum voor ziektepreventie en -bestrijding (ECDC) en als ‘Nationaal Focal Point voor hiv/aids-monitoring & evaluatie’ voor WHO Europa.

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.
