Full textThis study carried out in Benin had three components associated with the following objectives: 1) to assess the time trends in the prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (HIV/STI) and associated sexual behaviors among female sex workers (FSW) from 1993 to 2008, while preventive interventions targeting the sex work milieu were ongoing (developed by the Canadian project from 1992 to 2006 before being taken over by the national authorities) and assess the impact of change in intervention model on trends after the disengagement of the project in 2006, 2) to assess the change in HIV/STI prevalence and associated behaviors in the general population of Cotonou between 1998 and 2008, 3) to compare the method of individual face-to-face interviews (FTFI) to that of polling booth surveys (PBS). From 1993 to 2008, there was a significant decrease in HIV/STI prevalence among FSW and this decrease was very strong in Cotonou for HIV (53.3% to 30.4%, adjusted-p=0.0001) and gonorrhea (43.2 % to 6.4%, adjusted-p < 0.0001). On the other hand, from 2005 to 2008, there was a significant increase in gonorrhea prevalence (prevalence ratio: PR=1.76, 95% confidence interval: [1.17-2.65]) after disengagement of the Canadian project in 2006. In Cotonou, where the targeted interventions were reinforced between 2001 and 2006, HIV prevalence significantly decreased by 83% between 1998 and 2008 (3.0 to 0.5 %, adjusted-p=0.002) among young men of the general population aged 15-29 years. More HIV-related risky sexual behaviors were reported through PBS than through FTFI, thus suggesting that the former reduces social desirability biases. The study shows that in countries where the HIV epidemic is still concentrated among FSW as in Benin, preventive interventions targeting the sex work milieu remain the most effective intervention for a reliable control of the epidemic. Within this context where accurate data on sexual behaviors are of central importance for the design of effective preventive interventions as well as the assessment of their impact, PBS should be integrated into behavioral surveys.

Full textBackground & Objectives: Benin has a long-standing history of HIV prevention programs aimed atfemale sex workers (FSWs). Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment is available in Benin since 2002 and a testand-treat strategy was adopted in 2016. We used data from a national survey among FSWs (2017) toassess the prevention and care cascades in this population. Methods: FSWs were recruited through cluster sampling of sex work sites. After informed consent, a questionnaire was administered, and HIV tested with sequential rapid tests whose results were givenback to participants. After a second consent, HIV-positive participants were asked to provide driedblood spots (DBS). DBS were tested for ARV and viral load. We assessed two prevention cascades(HIV testing and safer sex) and the treatment cascade, using a combination of self-reported andbiological variables for defining HIV-positive status knowledge and being on treatment. Results: Mean age of the 1086 FSWs was 30 years. Only half of them were Beninese and two-thirdshad a primary school education level or less. Almost all FSWs had ever heard of HIV/AIDS. 79.1%had ever been tested, and 84.1% of the latter had been tested in the last year. In the previous sixmonths, 90.1% were exposed to prevention messages. Of those, over two thirds (72.8%) had seen a condom demonstration during the same period and 92% of the latter received free condoms in thelast three months. Women exposed to any HIV prevention message (last six months) reported a higherlevel of consistent condom use in the last month (69.0%) than those who were not (48.5%, p<0.0001).HIV prevalence was 7.7%. Among HIV-positive women, 60.6% knew their status; among those,90.5% were on ARV and 81.8% of the latter had a suppressed viral load.Conclusions: Despite long-standing HIV prevention programs for FSWs, the prevention indicators were often low, likely in relation to high FSW mobility, as half of them were migrants. Linkage to carewas good, viral suppression was sub-optimal, but knowledge of HIV-positive status was very low. Exposing women to prevention messages is necessary, as to increase HIV testing and improveadherence counselling towards FSWs on ARV.

Full textIn Benin, a high burden of HIV is observed in female sex workers (FSWs). Despite the importance given totesting services in HIV control, its uptake among FSWs remains suboptimal in Benin. HIV self-testing (HIVST) may be useful for increasing testing rates in FSWs. We conducted a pilot study of the distribution of HIVST kits among FSWs in Cotonou, Benin. The HIVST distribution model included three complementary strategies: community-based, facility-based and secondary distribution. In this qualitative study, we explored the elements influencing HIVST implementation, distributionand use among FSWs. We conducted 29 semi-structured individual interviews with professional FSWs. Datawere interpreted with a thematic analysis method, using the Theoretical Domains Framework.Only two FSWs (6.9%) were aware of HIVST before participating in the study. All participants were interested inusing HIVST if available in Benin. Many advantages of HIVST were mentioned, such as: autonomy, privacy,discretion, accessibility, rapidity and the fact that it is a painless test. Barriers to the use of HIVST included: the possible unreliability, the lack of psychological support and medical follow-up and the possibility of result dissimulation. Participants thought HIV self-tests were easy to use, and were confident they could use it correctly without assistance. HIVST enabled linkage to care for a few FSW in denial of their HIV-positive status. No case of suicide or violence associated with HIVST was reported. HIV self-tests secondary distribution within FSWs social network was well received. Some FSWs reported using HIVST to practice serosorting or to guide their decisions concerning condom use. Findings indicate that HIVST use and secondary distribution are highly acceptable and feasible among FSWs in Cotonou. Results also demonstrate the feasibility of implementing HIV self-tests distribution of in Benin. HIVST should be available in Benin quickly and free of charge to all individuals at risk of HIV.

Full textHIV infection continues to be a public health burden despite all the prevention and treatment efforts accomplished to date. It is therefore essential to propose new prevention methods to reduce the transmission of HIV. The use of antiretrovirals (ARVs) to prevent the transmission and acquisition of HIV infection seems promising for this purpose. Two prevention methods, early antiretroviral (E-ART) and pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have proven their efficacy in clinical trials but should be evaluated in "real life" outside the framework of clinical trials. The objective of this thesis was therefore to assess the relevance and feasibility of adding these two new prevention methods to the prevention and treatment package currently offered to female sex workers (FSWs) in Benin. In this demonstration project, 361 FSWs were recruited and followed for 12 to 24 months, 105 FSWs for E-ART and 256 FSWs for PrEP. First, key indicators were measured. Uptake was 95.5% for E-ART and 88.3% for PrEP. Retention at the end of the study was 59.0% for E-ART and 47.3% for PrEP. Self-reported adherence to E-ART was higher than self-reported adherence to PrEP, which decreased significantly during follow-up. Additionally, our results do not suggest any risk compensation with PrEP. We then measured PrEP adherence using 3 different measures and compared the trends using generalized estimating equations (GEE). Tenofovir (TFV) concentration in plasma, considered as the gold standard, was compared to self-reports and pill counts. Adherence to PrEP measured by TFV concentration decreased significantly over the course of the study. The pill counts and self-reported measures overestimated adherence. The TFV concentration in plasma appears to be the most appropriate measure for adherence in this high-risk population. However, its high cost limits its systematic use. Finally, we identified the predictors of adherence to PrEP. Older age, shorter duration in the study, and high intention to take PrEP at the start of the study were the only factors associated with adherence. In conclusion, PrEP could be included as a choice in the combined HIV prevention package offered to FSWs in Benin. However, PrEP does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections. It is an individual prevention method for people at high risk of HIV infection for whom traditional means of prevention have not worked or are not adapted. E-ART, on the other hand, could have a great impact for the prevention of HIV at the population level, while significantly improving clinical care for HIV-infected FSWs. However, for the implementation of PrEP and E-ART, the interventions must take into account the reality of FSWs, particularly their mobility to ensure good adherence and retention.

Full textThe practice of physical activity significantly reduces the risk of stroke. It is also used as a therapeutic strategy to maximize functional recovery during the rehabilitation of stroke survivors. Therefore, it is important to monitor the level of physical activity of healthy people and stroke survivors. Tracking the level of physical activity depends on the availability of valid and reliable tools for measuring and assessing physical activity. Unfortunately, the lack of such tools is observed in Benin, a French-speaking country in Africa. Also, in the circumstances of countries with limited financial resources such as Benin, questionnaires, subjective methods of measuring physical activity, are the most used methods because of their low cost and ease of implementation. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is a frequently tool used for measuring the level of physical activity of healthy subjects and different groups of patients. However, this questionnaire, to our knowledge, is not validated in the context of French-speaking African countries as in the context of Benin. The goal of this Master thesis was to adapt and validate IPAQ in healthy people and stroke survivors in Benin. Consequently, following well-established methods, we adapted the IPAQ according to the culture and specific linguistic aspects of French as spoken in Benin. Then, the convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the Beninese experimental version of the questionnaire were examined from a sample of 60 healthy subjects and 60 post-stroke subjects recruited in Benin. The results of the study show excellent convergent validity and excellent test-retest reliability of the Benin version of IPAQ for measuring the physical activity of healthy people and stroke survivors.

Full textLes travailleuses du sexe (TS) restent fortement affectées par l’infection au VIH et jouent un rôle clé dans sa propagation dans la population générale. Cependant la couverture antirétrovirale chez ces dernières reste toujours faible en Afrique en générale, et de l’Ouest et du centre en particulier. En lien avec les recommandations de l’ONUSIDA qui étendent l’accès au traitement antirétroviral à toute personne séropositive indépendamment de son taux de CD4, nous avons lancé ce projet de démonstration du traitement précoce du VIH comme méthode de prévention afin d’évaluer l’acceptabilité, la faisabilité, et l’utilité d’ajouter cette stratégie au paquet actuel de traitement et de prévention chez les TS au Bénin. Tout en évaluant l’acceptabilité et la faisabilité, nous avons mis l’accent sur la réponse au traitement notamment l’adhérence et la suppression de la charge virale, la restauration des taux de CD4 et l’émergence de résistance au traitement. L’étude a inclus 107 TS qui ont été suivies entre 12 et 24 mois. À la fin du suivi, seules 64 sont restées dans l’étude, donnant un taux de rétention de 59,8%. La restauration des taux de CD4 au-delà de 500 cells/μl a été atteinte chez plus de 70% des participantes, tandis que la moyenne géométrique de la charge virale est passée de 12372 copies/ml au début de l’étude à 105,1 copies/ml (p<0,0001) à 12 mois; 95,1 copies/ml (p<0,0001) à 24 mois et à 187,3 copies/ml à l’ensemble des visites finales (p=0,003). De plus, la charge virale supprimée (<1000 copies/ml) ou indétectable (<40 copies/ml) était fortement associée à l’augmentation du niveau d’adhésion thérapeutique auto-rapportée (p de tendance =0,048 et 0,004 respectivement). Plusieurs participantes ont montré des génotypes de résistance au début de l’étude, cependant aucune de ces dernières ayanteu une visite finale n’a montré de résistance clinique lors de cette dernière visite. Compte tenu de la mobilité de ce groupe, des efforts sur la rétention et l’adhérence au traitement, et une collaboration régionale entre les cliniques ISTs dédiées aux TS pourraient faciliter l’implantation et l’impact positif du traitement précoce comme méthode de prévention dans la sous-région.
Female sex workers (FSW) remain highly affected by HIV and play a critical roleinits spread towards the general population, however, antiretroviral treatment coverage in this group still remains very low in west and central African countries. In line with the UNAIDS recommendations extending antiretroviral treatment to all HIV-infected individuals regardless their CD4 count, we carried out this demonstration project of early HIV treatment as prevention (TasP) aiming to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and utility of adding this strategy to the current prevention and treatment packageamong FSW in Cotonou, Benin. While assessing both acceptability and feasibility, we focused on treatment response including CD4 count restoration, adherence to treatment and viral suppression, and emergence of drug resistance. The study included 107 FSW who were followed between 12 and 24 months. At the end of the follow-up 64 remained in the study giving a retention rate of 59.8%. CD4 count recovery above 500 cells/μl was reached in more than 70% of participants. The geometric mean viral load decreased from 12372 copies/ml at baseline, to 105.1 copies/ml (<.0001) at 12 months; 95.1 copies/ml (p <.0001) at 24 months and 187.3 copies/ml at all final visits (p = 0.003). In addition, both suppressed (<1000 copies/ml) and undetectable (<40 copies/ml) viral loads were strongly associated with increasing levels of adherence to treatment (p for trend =0.048 and 0.004 respectively). Resistance mutations were detected in several participants at baseline, but none of those who had a final visit showed clinical resistance. Given the mobility in this group of population, efforts on retention and adherence to treatment, and regional collaboration between FSW-dedicated clinics could facilitate the implementation and positive impact of early treatment as prevention in this population.
