Abstract
We launched a community-based HIV rapid testing project in Brussels for SAM. We were able to conduct 250 HIV tests in 2017 using 4 different strategies (Fixed, Bus, Partners, Appointment). We showed that demedicalised and decentralised HIV testing is efficient for the SAM communities in Brussels. Moreover, each strategy seems to reach a different type of population. Indeed, the Fix strategy allowed to reach a population with a high risk exposition and a high risk awareness whereas the outreach strategies (Bus & Partners) allowed to reach a population with a mixed risk exposition and a low risk awareness.
