Summary

This study is testing whether setting up special HIV teams in hospitals can increase testing for undiagnosed HIV. The teams will remind doctors to test patients with certain health conditions, reduce stigma, and improve care links. Over 5,200 patients across ten European countries will be involved. The goal is to catch HIV earlier and improve outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
HIV team implementation (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that dedicated HIV teams in hospitals help find undiagnosed HIV earlier, leading to better health outcomes and reduced spread.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a drug trial. Success depends on hospital staff cooperation and resources. Results may vary across countries and may not be easy to sustain long-term.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 5,200 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Oct 2025

Expected to finish

Feb 2030

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Since this study involves screening individuals presenting to a specific hospital through a hospital-wide intervention, the inclusion and exclusion criteria are established at the hospital level. Inclusion Criteria: 1. Standard of care: HIV testing for HIV indicator conditions should be part of routine care in the country, and any prevailing guidelines on HIV testing and prevention policies can be integrated. 2. Management approval: Hospital management must be willing to allocate resources and provide authorization for the proposed activities, including Surveillance, Audit \& Feedback, Education \& Training, Linkage to Prevention, and fostering an Enabling Environment, including stigma reduction. 3. Resources: Assembling an HIV team led by a local HIV expert should be viable considering the available human resources. 4. Data collection: There should be an IT specialist and IT infrastructure capable of flagging a pre-defined set of HIV indicator conditions and monitoring the project's implementation effects with feedback loops to healthcare professionals. 5. Quality assurance: Continuous linkage for care and access to antiretroviral therapy must be assured. 6. Ethics and Regulatory Compliance: Provision for ethical and regulatory compliance is necessary. Exclusion Criteria: Any hospital that does not meet the inclusion criteria will be excluded from participation. We will not use data of patients who have objected against the use of their data for research.
