Objective: We simulated the impact of implementing different health interventions to improve the HIV continuum of care for people diagnosed, on treatment, and virologically suppressed in Spain for the 2020-2030 period.
Methods: The model was carried out in four phases involving a multidisciplinary expert panel: (1) literature review; (2) selection/definition of the interventions and their effectiveness; (3) consensus meeting; and (4) development of an analytical decision model to project the impact of implementing/strengthening these interventions to improve the HIV continuum of care, corresponding to 2017-2019 (87% diagnosed, 97% on treatment, 90% with viral suppression), through the creation of different scenarios for 2020-2030. A total of 19 interventions were selected based on expanding the offer of HIV rapid tests and implementing training/peer programmes, electronic alerts, multidisciplinary care, and mHealth, among others.
