An estimated 29,000 undiagnosed HIV cases in France

An estimated 29,000 individuals in France were living with undiagnosed HIV infection in 2010, investigators report in the online edition of AIDS. Sixty per cent of people with undiagnosed HIV had a CD4 count below 500 cells/mm3 and were therefore eligible for immediate antiretroviral therapy. The investigators believe their findings are of relevance to HIV screening strategies, and that universal HIV testing for men would be appropriate and cost effective, especially in high-prevalence cities, such as Paris.

The undiagnosed HIV epidemic in France and its implications for HIV screening strategies

Describing the undiagnosed HIV-infected population is essential for guiding HIV screening policy, implementing interventions and resource planning.

We used French national HIV surveillance data and a back-calculation approach to estimate the number of undiagnosed HIV-infected individuals in France and the distribution of time since HIV infection among undiagnosed individuals. We also used data on CD4 cell count decline to assess the CD4 count distribution among undiagnosed individuals.
