  5. Surveillance Systems Evaluations in Central America, 2004-2007 Countries evaluated from 2004 - 2006 Country evaluated in 2007 STI surveillance only

  6. HIV and Syphilis Prevalence among high risk groups, MCS, 2000-2003

  7. Strengthening STI Surveillance in Central America • Using the Bolivia model • Focusing on Commercial Sex Worker regular screening • Established in Honduras and Guatemala • Based at MOH STI Clinics and in conjunction with MOH Staff

  8. Bolivia Model • Initiated by Dr. W. Levin, CDC, and others in 1992 • Focusing on strengthening of: • Etiologic diagnosis laboratory-based • Strengthening clinical management and training of staff • Intervention: outreach, condom usage, clinical management in a humane environment • Informatics: electronic data management and analysis

  9. HIV/AIDS Prevalence in adults in Latin América and the Caribbean Prevalencia por cada 100 personas de 15-49 años Bolivia is number 27 in Latin America and the Caribbean

  10. STI prevalence in CSW, La Paz 1993, 1999* and 2007** *Number of observations: 1992, 141; 1999, 130; 2007, 256 Missing observations excluded from some denominators **RPR titer >1:8, Chlamydia data from 2006

  11. STI prevalence in CSW, Santa Cruz 1993, 1999* y 2007** *Number of observations: 1993, 354; 1999, 832; 2007, 386 Missing observations excluded from some denominators **RPR titer >1:8 Chlamydia data from 2006

  12. Condom Use among CSW in Three Cities in Bolivia* 1992, 1999 and 2006 1993 1999 2006 1992 1999 2006 1997 1999 2006 *Condom use always or almost always during vaginal sex in the last month. 2006 Data, KAP Survey (Population Council)

  13. HIV prevalence (%) in adults (15–49) in Latin America, UNAIDS, 2007 2.18

  14. Selected findings from Guatemala and Honduras VICITS

  15. CSW Demographic Characteristic STI Sentinel Surveillance, VICITS Guatemala, June-August 2007

  16. Internal migrant CSW towns of originSTI Sentinel Surveillance, VICITS Guatemala June – August 2007

  17. Alcohol and drug consumption among CSW, STI Sentinel Surveillance - VICITS, Guatemala June-August, 2007 1 drug n = 55 2 drugs n = 8 n = 189 Percentage 3 o + drugs n = 2 No data n = 1 n = 66 Drugs** *Consumo durante el último mes **Consumo alguna vez en la vida

  18. Positive results for STI among CSW,STI Sentinel Surveillance, VICITSGuatemala, June-August 2007 Persons tested HIV: 217 VDRL: 217 Swabs: 193 Percentage

  19. Condom use among CSW in the last month by partners, STI Sentinel Surveillance, VICITS Guatemala, June-August, 2007 Percentage

  20. Honduras: STI Prevalence and condom use among CSW, VICITS, 2006 @ last sex encounter

  21. STI Prevalence and condom use VICITS vs. BSS Honduras, 2006 *Only those reported attended to health center (VICITS) @ last sex encounter

  22. STI Prevalence and condom use VICITS vs. BSS Honduras, 2006 *Only those reporting services at STI health center (VICITS)

  23. Conclusions and Recommendations • STI sentinel surveillance has a very important role to play in 2nd. Generation Surveillance among MARPs in LRC • STI surveillance systems are cost effective and have an impact in controlling the HIV epidemic • STI Surveillance and BSS play a complimentary role and both are necessary • STI surveillance systems should be developed or strengthened in order to monitor changes in MARPs • Political will needs to be changed in order to make available investment necessary to implement STI surveillance for the long term. • Lastly, STI surveillance systems can play a critical role in preventing HIV among MARPs (clinical management, condom distribution) given that it reduces the risk of HIV infection.
