One in two people living with HIV in Europe is diagnosed late

(European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) ) The WHO European Region is the only Region worldwide where the number of new HIV infections is rising. With more than 160,000 people newly diagnosed with HIV across the Region, including more than 29,000 new cases from the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA), this trend continued in 2016. One reason for this worrying trend: over half (51 percent) of the reported HIV diagnoses happen in a late stage of infection.
