Test rápido de VIH como herramienta para acercar el testeo a población objetivo, un análisis narrativo.
Palabras clave:
VIH, Jóvenes, PrevenciónResumen
La infección por virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) afecta a millones de personas en todo el mundo, Chile no siendo una excepción, con cerca de 74000 pacientes VIH (+). Es por eso que es fundamental que un mayor número de personas tenga un diagnóstico al respecto, permite que las personas infectadas puedan iniciar tratamientos que contribuyan a mejorar su calidad y expectativa de vida y prevenir la transmisión. Es en este contexto que se plantea el test rápido como una técnica que permite la obtención de resultados diagnósticos para el VIH en un periodo corto y con la facilidad de realizarse en prácticamente cualquier escenario. La población joven es un grupo riesgo, generalmente presentando conductas sexuales riesgosas y múltiples barreras para realizarse testeo para VIH. Gracias a las cualidades del test rápido y características de la población joven nos preguntamos: ¿Cúal es la utilidad del Test rápido de VIH como herramienta para acercar el testeo de VIH a población joven? Para responder esta pregunta analizamos un total de 25 artículos. Entre otros hallazgos destacan la privacidad y confidencialidad que permite el test rápido, su capacidad para alcanzar poblaciones estigmatizadas y/o geográficamente aisladas, gracias a la facilidad para acercar el test al paciente y la obtención de los resultados en el mismo día, lo que evita que las personas tengan que recorrer distancias innecesarias. Por último, el test rápido es una primera aproximación para muchos pacientes, dato relevante porque existen antecedentes de que haberse testeado aumenta la probabilidad de retesteo.
