Description
Mathieu Nacher, leading fourteen colleagues, published a 2026 modeling study of HIV trends and diagnostic delay in French Guiana from 2000 to 2023. Treatment rules have widened, and since 2017 most patients start antiretroviral therapy regardless of immune cell counts. Using a quality-controlled cohort and a modeling platform, the team estimated infection years from CD4 decline and tracked incidence, undiagnosed share, and deaths.
Every headline indicator improved: incidence fell, delay shortened, undiagnosed cases shrank, and deaths declined. Delay still ran about two years longer in men than women and about three years longer among Surinamese or Brazilian immigrants. With roughly five percent of people with HIV undiagnosed, the authors see a residual transmission source to shrink.
