“…Our result is similar to that described by Coutherut and Desclaux [22] in Senegal, which was 56.7%. It is low compared with that described by Yaya [23] in Sokodé, Togo (60.9%); by Diemer [20] in Bangui (70.3%); by Kra [24] in Bouaké, Côte-d'Ivoire (79.2%) and by Kouanda et al [25] in Burkina-Faso (81.4%).…”

Introduction: Achieving the goal of "zero new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections by 2030" requires the elimination of HIV transmission within serodiscordant couples. In Benin, the phenomenon of HIV serodiscordance remains poorly documented. Objective: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HIV serodiscordance and its associated factors among infected couples in the city of Parakou. Study Framework and Method: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical focusing on qualitative and quantitative plans. It was carried out on thirty approved sites in the city of Parakou between July and December 2022. We used a non-exhaustive convenience sample of people living with HIV (PLHIV) whose partner's status was known. Data collection took place in two phases: an interview phase during which sociodemographic, economic, behavioral and marital/social data were collected. The second phase focused on clinical and therapeutic data which were collected from the patients' personal records. Results: A total of 417 study subjects were recruited. The average age (SD) of the subjects was 38.17 (±10.25) years [37.19 -39.16]. Females accounted for the largest proportion (79.62%). Most respondents (74.11%) were married. Monogamous unions were the most frequent, involving 67.87% of participants, most of whom (44.60%) had been infected for between 1 and 5 years.

“…In our study, 54.24% of men had shared their serostatus, compared with 46.25% of women. This finding was made by Obermeyer [16] in Burkina-Faso, where women shared their serostatus less frequently than men. In fact, only 33% of women versus 67% of men had disclosed their HIV status to their partner.…”

Introduction: In serodiscordant couples, sharing serostatus is a crucial step in the HIV risk management process. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with serostatus sharing among HIV serodiscordant couples in the city of Parakou. Setting and methods: This study was carried out in the city of Parakou, capital of northern Benin. It was a descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study with non-probability sampling for convenience. Socio-demographic data, as well as data on antecedents, behaviours, social and marital life, were collected using a questionnaire gave to the participants. Clinical and therapeutic data were collected from patients' medical records and follow-up charts. Data were analyzed and processed using R 4.3.1 software. The significance level was set at 5%, and logistic regression was used to identify potential predictors of shared serostatus among serodiscordant couples in the city of Parakou in 2022. Results: A total of 299 participants in long-term serodiscordant relationships were included in our study. The average age of the subjects was 37.55 ± 10.25 years. Women were the infected partner in 80.27% of cases. The most common level of education was secondary (33.45%). Most respondents (230 subjects, 76.92%) were married.

“…Analysis at the group level is also essential to understand the second element highlighted above in terms of people's decisions to go for HIV screening or not, specifically the phenomenon of stigma associated with the diagnosis of the disease. The fear of being stigmatized can lead to risk-taking, for example, not going for screening not seeking care after positive diagnosis [18][19][20], and not disclosing one's HIV status with loved ones or potential sexual partners [17,21,22].…”

Recent scientific advances in hepatitis B virus research hint at the possibility of finding a cure in the medium term. In this context, the characterization of infected persons constitutes a major public health issue in terms of implementing adapted screening and prevention strategies. Overcoming the current challenges national health systems face in hepatitis B diagnosis is essential if the World Health Organization’s target of treating 80% of infected patients by 2030 is to be reached. These challenges reflect those previously faced in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Using the knowledge produced to date in Human and Social Sciences research in the fight against HIV/AIDS, we propose avenues of reflection to support and guide the development of research in the diagnosis of hepatitis B infection. More specifically, we present theoretical, methodological and epistemological considerations for how HSS research can be optimized in the following three HBV diagnosis-related areas: (i) access to screening; (ii) retention in care; and (iii) the integration of quality of life measurement in clinical trials.
