    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Social Sciences

    Context:

    • Major challenges in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) detection and treatment persist in developing countries due to resource and infrastructure limitations.
    • Socio-cultural factors in Africa, including stigma and lack of understanding, hinder disease awareness, screening acceptance, and treatment access.
    • Inequalities in HIV/AIDS policy effectiveness exist, even within developed nations, as seen in the French West Indies compared to mainland France.

    Purpose:

    • To compare the accessibility and utilization of HIV screening care in sub-Saharan Africa and the French Departments of America (DFA).
    • To analyze the socio-cultural and psychological barriers affecting HIV prevention and treatment efforts in diverse settings.
    • To identify common challenges and inform targeted interventions for combating the HIV epidemic.

    Summary:

    • Fear of the disease, stigma, and concerns about test results significantly limit preventive and treatment actions in both sub-Saharan Africa and the French West Indies.
    • Women in sub-Saharan Africa show higher acceptance of screening tests than men, with adolescents and homosexual populations being particularly vulnerable.
    • The comparison highlights similar attitudes and barriers across regions, suggesting the need for tailored strategies and programs to improve HIV control.

    Impact:

    • The study underscores the critical need for innovative strategies and specific programs to overcome persistent barriers to HIV screening and treatment.
    • Findings can inform policy development and public health initiatives aimed at reducing HIV transmission and improving patient outcomes globally.
    • Addressing socio-cultural factors and reducing stigma are crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS interventions in diverse populations.
