  1. Injecting Drug Use and HIV, HCV infections in Dakar, Sénégal : FromResearch to Implementation, the UDSEN project Pierre-Marie GIRARD, Hopital St Antoine & IMEA, Paris and ANRS Sénégal Site, for the UDSEN Study Group

  2. Starting point - ICASA 2008, Dakar • A qualitative RapidAssessmentStudy(2004-2005) confirmed Injectable DrugsUse • The legal and social context of drugs use was repressive. • Very few care giversinvolvedin IDU . • =>PWID/PWUD = hiddenpopulations • Poor experience of HCW on drug use (« drugs » meanonly Cannabis) • Willingness of HIV experts and HCW to face this challenge (CNLS/SMI Fann/Saint Antoine Hospital /ANRS/IMEA /ESTHER). • => Implementation of an Operationnalresearchbased on a prevalence estimation of HIV/HCV/HBV by RespondentDrivenSampling (RDS) method

  3. Injection practices in Dakar, 2008

  4. UDSEN = « Usagers de Drogues Injectables au Sénégal » = « IDU in Dakar area » CEPIAD = « Centre de Prise en charge Integrée des Addictions à Dakar» 2008 2010 2011 2013 2014 2015

  5. UDSEN study: Objectives • To provide objective data on: • IDU prevalence and size of the population • Practices • HIV/HCV/HBV prevalence • HCW and Social Workers training • Advocacy for harmreduction programs • Advocacy for access to HAART in IDU

  6. Ethical Issues • Security & confidentiality for participants : • Setting of the survey in Clinical and Research center of Centre Hospitalier de Fann • Anonymous consent form • Intensive training of HCW and staff members on addictions issues and confidentiality • Amount of incentive: thesame as currentamount for clinicalstudies participation in the center • Care accessfor all the recrutees: • Prevention kits & counselling. • Access to tests results and care = 18-month duration for study preparation

  7. UDSEN study (ANRS 12243): methods (1) • Outreach program in the 4 previousmonths • Settings: All 4 departments of Dakar area. • Inclusion criteria: heroin and/or cocaine use in the previous 3 monthswhatever the use patterns (=IDU). • Size estimation by capture/recapture method : • Capture : cardboardtoken distribution at W-1 RDS survey • Recapture : participation to the RDS survey.

  8. UDSEN study (ANRS 12243): methods (2) • Recruitment of IDUsfor estimation of prevalence in the population: RespondentDrivenSampling (RDS) : 8 seeds representative of the diversity of the population. • RDS, social and behavioral questionnaires. • Biologicalassessment for HIV antibodies, HBV (HBs Ag and HBc Ab) and HCV (DBS). • Counselling and kit prevention

  9. UDSEN study : Main Results (April to July 2011) • Size estimation of IDU in Dakar area: 1324 (IC95%: 1281-1367). • RDS survey: • 625 individualswerepeer-recruited and 506included. • Non inclusion (N=119)

  10. Main characteristics of the participants (1) • predominantly male (n=434, 86%) • Median age: 43 year-old, women are younger (35 vs 44) • Most of them (n=356, 70%) were either single, divorced or widowed and lived with their parents (n=296, 59 %) • History of incarceration reported by 62 % • Median age of first heroin or cocaine or crack use: 27 year-old • 28% (n=140) have injecteddrugs at least once in their life

  12. UDSEN study : Main Results (1) • Prevalences in the IDU population • HIV : 5.2% [IC95%(3.8-6.3)] • HBV (Hbs+ Ag) : 8.9% [IC95%(5.2-11.1)] • HCV (HCV Ab) : 23.3% [IC95% (21.2-25.2)]

  13. UDSEN study: Main results (2) HIV/HCV/HBV prevalence • HIV: • Injectors*vs Non-injectors: 9.4 % vs 2.5% • Womenvs Men: 13% vs 3% • HCV: • Injectorsvs Non-injectors: 39 % vs 18% No statisticdifferencein gender • HBV: AgHBs + : 8.9% • *injection at least once lifely

  14. Riskfactors for HIV and HCV • Riskfactors for HIV • Femalesex(OR = 4.9, 95%CI: 1.6 – 15.6) p= 0.007 • Past or actual injection (OR = 4.3, 95%CI: 1.7 – 10.7) p= 0.04 • Age (OR per year) (OR =1.1, 95%CI:1.004 – 1.1) p= 0.03 • Riskfactors for HCV • Past or current injection (OR = 2.7, 95%CI: 1.7 – 4.3) p= 0.0001 • To besingle, divorced or widowed (OR = 1.81, 95%CI: 1.08 – 3.04) p = 0.02 • Duration of relationship with study recruiter (OR per days)(OR = 1.001, 95CI: 1.0 – 1.002) p = 0.05 All results are generatedthroughmutivariateanalysis
