Objective: The study aimed to describe the current epidemiological, clinical and immunological profile of newly
detected HIV - positive patients in Northern Benin by 2016. Methods: It was a prospective study conducted from May 2 to
October 31, 2016 on three main sites of care of people living with... HIV (PLHIV) in the department of Borgou in Benin. All
new cases of HIV infection have been systematically and comprehensively recruited. Initial epidemiological, clinical and
immunological data were collected using a questionnaire. These data were entered and analyzed using the Epi Info 7 software.
Results: In total, 185 adults (68 male and 117 female) newly screened HIV positive were included in this study. The middle age
was 36.2 ± 10.9 years and the sex ratio was 0.6 One hundred and thirty-five patients (73%) were between 25 and 50 years old.
In terms of the profession, 132 patients (71.3%) were engaged in liberal activities (craftmen, traders and retailers). The
majority was schooled (113 or 61.1%) and resided in urban areas (146 or 79%). One hundred and sixteen patients lived in
couple (62.7%) with an average monthly income estimated at 70 US Dollars. Clinically, 123 patients (66.5%) were in WHO
stage III. The body mass index was over 18.5 kg/m2 in 124 patients (67%). The median number of TCD4 lymphocytes was
254.5 cells/ml and 25 patients (13.5%) had a number of CD4 over 500 cells/ml. HIV1 was really predominant (97.8%). Most
patients (152 or 82.2%) had been screened for clinical suspicion. Conclusion: HIV infection in Benin remains the prerogative
of young, female, educated and poor people. Screening is delayed and hence the need to develop innovative strategies for early

La movilidad humana en Colombia incluye una combinación de migración interna e internacional, tanto de personas colombianas como originarios de otros países. Históricamente, el principal movimiento migratorio internacional en Colombia ha sido la emigración. Las razones son variad...as, muchas han estado relacionadas con el conflicto armado, la inestabilidad política y económica, unidas a la falta de oportunidades de algunos grupos de la población, lo que generó para muchas generaciones la salida del país en pro de una mejor calidad de vida. Un segundo movimiento masivo es el de las personas desplazadas internas por el conflicto armado. Más recientemente, a estos dos movimientos se ha sumado el de las personas venezolanas que ingresan a Colombia, ya sea con la intención de continuar hacia otros países de la región o para permanecer en este país. En este documento, abordamos los posibles impactos de la pandemia de COVID-19 en consideración de estas tres movilidades en Colombia.

EU/EEA Member States and the UK have increased their laboratory capacity tremendously over the past 11 months as the majority of the Member States reported sufficient testing capacity until March 2021.

Some Member States have already included RADT in their case definition.
The main bottlenecks, such as shortages of laboratory consumables and human resources, as well as sample storing facilities, continue to exist and may affect the overall laboratory response to COVID-19.
