1 in 7 people living with HIV in the EU/EEA are not aware of their HIV status

(European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) ) Almost 30,000 newly diagnosed HIV infections were reported by the 31 European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries in 2015, according to data published today by ECDC and the WHO Regional Office for Europe. This is similar to the observed notification trends in the last decade. One reason for this persistent HIV epidemic: ECDC estimates that currently around 122,000 people living with HIV across the region are unaware of their infection.
