Brief Summary

Social insecurity is a significant cost in human terms (health and societal), it defines evil and can be identified as difficulties accessing health and especially water.

We chose to take stock of these populations defined by difficulties accessing water as precarious setting. Subjects homeless population fall into this by accident of life, a life "homeless" or migrant subjects often illegally having only transitory access (associative or charitable structures host) the conditions precarious sanitation including drinking water or toilet. Populations of slums in the same conditions or the presence rationed water (one tap for 150 people) restricts hygiene.

Detailed Description

Social insecurity is a significant cost in human terms (health and societal), it defines evil and can be identified as difficulties accessing health and especially water.

We chose to take stock of these populations defined by difficulties accessing water as precarious setting. Subjects homeless population fall into this by accident of life, a life "homeless" or migrant subjects often illegally having only transitory access (associative or charitable structures host) the conditions precarious sanitation including drinking water or toilet. Populations of slums in the same conditions or the presence rationed water (one tap for 150 people) restricts hygiene.

The sampling system as part of a consultation in routine care (will be in DBS (blotter) only alternative to invasive venous sample and requiring heavier care facility. The capillary sampling on filter will also detect a marker of malnutrition .

Thus in live in large social precariousness adult this study should show which interventions in public health and management proposals are most appropriate for this population.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Other: Population homeless or living in slum

Population homeless or living in slum realizing realizing a capillary sampling

Biological: capillary sampling
After elution in buffer (PBS-Tween azide and thiamol) eluate 200 microliter is processed on automated techniques (Siemens Centaur XL and Diasorin) after adjustment of the figures according to ISO 15189 scope B. The results are qualitatively made and sent to the teams. The return of results, a proposal for appropriate care in the event of contact with virus (anti-HAV HCV HBV) through a rendering consultation results
