The COINCIDE Study and its Cartoviz application, a tool to guide the system of information, prevention, screening and access to care for HIV in IDF
It is within the framework of the COINCIDE study, financially supported by ANRS MIE, that the COINCIDE maps were developed thanks to the collaboration between Inserm (U1136, ERES), the COREVIH of IDF, and the regional Health Observatory (ORS IDF). They allowed, over the period 2014-2021, the unprecedented description of the HIV epidemic at a fine territorial scale (at the level of districts for Paris, municipalities for the inner suburbs and groupings of municipalities for the outer suburbs). The Cartoviz COINCIDE interactive mapping tool reports on the epidemic characteristics of each territory according to 14 indicators and also offers maps of context indicators such as screening and potential accessibility to general practitioners.
The sub-departemental scale reveals strong territorial and population disparities. Whatever the population (MSM, women and non MSM men born abroad), the rates of new diagnoses are higher in Paris whereas the epidemic dynamics are less favorable outside of Paris, particularly in outer suburbs. In the vast majority of these territories, the most difficult populations to reach for screening and prevention, and often the most vulnerable (women and men born abroad, non MSM), predominate.
This new interactive tool Cartoviz COINCIDE, intended for screening and prevention stakholders (local authorities, local regional health agencies, associations, pharmacists, general practitioners, free sexual health care centers, medical biology laboratories etc…) could help provide targeted and differentiated responses on a fine territorial scale, and fight more effectively against HIC/AIDS in IDF.
