[People and Diseases Screnned in 2016 by the Sexual Infection Screening Centre, Seine-Saint-Denis country (France)]
Context:
Since 2016, the Seine-Saint-Denis County (France), have been provided with the state's label CeGIDD as a screening center, which is structured around a new main site in Bobigny and four sub-centers.
Methods:
Data collection for public health and activity studies was implanted at the main site in 2016. This study presents a description of the patients and diseases screened during the first year of activity.
Results:
There were 59.6% male, the median age was 26 years old and almost 30% were born abroad. The large majority of the active file was formed by a priority public (70.6%) including LGBT (8.3%) (lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders), drugs users (6.3%), prostitute (2.4%) and former prisoners (2.3%).
Conclusion:
The CeGIDD is a new structure with a high potential. This study's results shows higher positive rates than national's or county's rates. After a first year the centre's activity should develop and target more and more people, including people who were not screened before, thanks to the data collection widespread in the sub-centers since 2017 and the development of outside actions, which will provide additional knowledge on the patients.
