- Estimating HIV incidence and number of undiagnosed individuals living with HIV in the European Union/European Economic Area, 2015Publication . Pharris, Anastasia; Quinten, Chantal; Noori, Teymur; Amato-Gauci, Andrew J; van Sighem, Ard; ECDC HIV/AIDS Surveillance and Dublin Declaration Monitoring Networks, (Helena Cortes Martins)Since 2011, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) incidence appears unchanged in the European Union/European Economic Area with between 29,000 and 33,000 new cases reported annually up to 2015. Despite evidence that HIV diagnosis is occurring earlier post-infection, the estimated number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) who were unaware of being infected in 2015 was 122,000, or 15% of all PLHIV (n=810,000). This is concerning as such individuals cannot benefit from highly effective treatment and may unknowingly sustain transmission.
- HIV in Europe and Central Asia: progress in 2018 towards meeting the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targetsPublication . Brown, Alison E.; Hayes, Rosalie; Noori, Teymur; Azad, Yusef; Amato-Gauci, Andrew J.; Pharris, Anastasia; Delpech, Valerie C.; ECDC Dublin Declaration Monitoring NetworkIn 2018, 52 of 55 European and Central Asian countries reported data against the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. Overall, 80% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) were diagnosed, of whom 64% received treatment and 86% treated were virally suppressed. Subregional outcomes varied: West (87%-91%-93%), Centre (83%-73%-75%) and East (76%-46%-78%). Overall, 43% of all PLHIV were virally suppressed; intensive efforts are needed to meet the 2020 target of 73%.
- Reduction in undiagnosed HIV infection in the European Union/European Economic Area, 2012 to 2016Publication . van Sighem, Ard; Pharris, Anastasia; Quinten, Chantal; Noori, Teymur; Amato-Gauci, Andrew J; ECDC HIV/AIDS Surveillance And Dublin Declaration Monitoring NetworksIt is well-documented that early HIV diagnosis and linkage to care reduces morbidity and mortality as well as HIV transmission. We estimated the median time from HIV infection to diagnosis in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) at 2.9 years in 2016, with regional variation. Despite evidence of a decline in the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV in the EU/EEA, many remain undiagnosed, including 33% with more advanced HIV infection (CD4 < 350 cells/mm3).
