Abstract
Burkina Faso pledged to reach the worldwide objective of eliminating HIV/AIDS by 2030. Therefore, its information system must be able to provide quality data for monitoring and evaluating progress. This study assessed the quality of data on HIV/AIDS in Burkina Faso. We conducted an audit on the promptitude, exhaustivity, and exactitude in the management of data regarding HIV/AIDS. The survey occurred in the care centers for People Living With HIV (PLWHIV) between January and March2022 and focused on data collected between August and October 2021. Out of the 75 care centers for PLWHIV that were assessed, 2 (2.7%) had a level of exhaustivity in register filling that was satisfying and 4 (5.3%) had a level of exhaustivity that was very satisfying. The proportion of discordant data was 32.0%. According to the type of center, this proportion was of 72. 7% in public centers versus 66.7% in nonprofit private centers and 20.0% in for-profit private centers. The main reasons were lack of training, data reporting and counting errors. The promptitude of monthly activity report transmission was unsatisfactory in 4.0% and very satisfactory in 96.0% of cases. The exhaustivity and the exactitude of data on HIV/AIDS are unsatisfying in Burkina Faso. The training of workers, the promotion of self-control on quality and effective data usage could improve those findings.
