New HIV diagnoses at high levels in the European Region but progress in EU

(European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) ) With nearly 160,000 new HIV diagnoses, 2017 marked another year of alarming numbers of HIV diagnoses in the WHO European Region. Encouragingly, the overall increasing trend is not as steep as before. The eastern part of the Region recorded over 130,000 new HIV diagnoses, the highest number ever. In contrast, the EU/EEA countries reported a decline in rates, mainly driven by a 20 percent decrease since 2015 among men who have sex with men.
