About this study

Official title: Impact on New HIV/HCV Infection Diagnoses and Costs of Two HIV/HCV Testing Programs "Education and Support Only" Versus "Education and Support Plus a Resourced External Program (DRIVE 03)"

Objectives: A targeted HIV testing strategy (TTS) through an HIV risk of exposure and indicator conditions (RE\&IC) questionnaire resulted in same rate of new HIV infection diagnosis (NHID), coverage and even reduced costs compared with a universal non targeted (Non TSS) HIV testing strategy in a prior study (DRIVE 01). To compare number of New HIV/HCV Infection Diagnoses (NHID HIV/HCV) and costs two HIV/HCV testing programs in the Primary Health Care: an educational and support only initiative to enhance HIV /HCV testing (EDSUP) or EDSUP plus a resourced external program (DRIVE 03).

Methodology: Prospective, randomized 1:1, clustered, crossover study, in one Health Care Area of Madrid, Spain, comparing the implementation of two HIV testing programs, EDSUP only vs. EDSUP plus DRIVE 03 program in 4 Primary Care Centers (PCC´s). People randomized to EDSUP plus DRIVE 03 program, non HIV infected, between 18-65 years, attending to any of the 4 PCC´s, not previously included in the study will be offered to participate. HIV testing program will be evaluated by measuring absolute number of new diagnosed infections (NDI) HIV/HCV and costs. Other outcomes considered will be people assigned and offered to participate, number of HIV tests performed, coverage (HIV /HCV tests/assigned population ratio), and rate of NDI HIV/HCV per ‰ tests performed. Six months prior to randomization main outcome variables will be recorded in the 4 PPC´s. Before randomization, EDSUP will be equally implemented in the 4 PCC´s. After randomization, first six months, DRIVE 03 program will be implemented in 2 PCC´s and in the other 2 observation of interest variables will be conducted. After first 6 month study period, PCC´s will be crossover to the opposite arm of randomization. DRIVE 03 program will offer rapid HIV tests, and testing staff to conduct all study procedures. For NDI HIV/HCV, molecular epidemiology, delayed diagnosis, retention in care, HIV/HCV treatment and control/eradication will be also monitored.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HIV/HCV Education plus TestingOther

    Education included a half day educational program and the provision of supporting materials to enhance HIV testing, such as a clinical decision algorithm to perform HIV test and clinical remainders to help meet with the current Spanish Early Diagnosis HIV Testing Recommendations. Half day educational program, to promote early diagnosis of HIV, HCV, in a Primary Care Health Area.To Improve knowledge and current trends in the prevention, diagnosis and management of HIV infection among non health professionals specialists in infectious diseases.DRIVE 03 program will offer rapid HIV tests, and testing staff to conduct all study procedures.The study activities will be carried out by the trained testing staff.

Model description
DRIVE study (Diagnóstico Rápido de la Infección por VIH/HCV en España, in English Rapid HIV/HCV testing in Spain) was designed to investigate the different aspects of HIV testing. DRIVE 01 and 02 had been already completed and communicated. This new study has been designed as a prospective randomized clustered crossover study in one Health Care Area of Madrid Spain, to compare two implementation HIV/HCV testing programs: only EDSUP vs. EDSUP plus a resourced HIV/HCV testing program which provide rapid HIV/HCV tests, and testing staff to conduct all procedures. Four PCC´c belonging to the influenced area of Ramón y Cajal Area will be randomized 1:1 to receive sequentially any of the two HIV/HCV testing programs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HIV/HCV Education plus Testing and HIV/HCV Education in people with HIV Infection and HCV Coinfection, run by Fundacion para la Investigacion Biomedica del Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal at 2 sites in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of New HIV HIV/HCV Diagnosis (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2019.
