Prevention of Missed Opportunities for HIV Diagnosis by Promoting HIV Testing of Patients With Pneumococcal Pneumonia at Nice University Hospital (PneumoVIH)

NCT04909268 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 94

Last updated 2025-03-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

According to usual practices, HIV testing should be performed for each patient diagnosed for pneumococcal pneumonia. Unfortunately, in 2018, only 27% of patients were tested for HIV following pneumococcal pneumonia in Nice University Hospital. The aim of PneumoVIH protocol is to promote HIV testing by reminding good practices to physicians. To achieve this, the team of the bacteriology laboratory will contact physicians for each patient positive for pneumococcal antigenuria to suggest HIV testing. This prospective public health action will aim to integrate this HIV test into routine care and to evaluate benefits through the number of HIV positive patients that will be diagnosed.
