Re: Russia - Young Man with AIDS Died in His Sleep
A new report marking World AIDS Day, published jointly by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO)’s Regional Office for Europe, shows a 24% drop in the rate of newly diagnosed HIV cases between 2019 and 2020. This drop is largely due to reduced HIV testing during 2020 as a result of COVID-19 restrictions and disruptions to services. This situation is worrying, given that over the last decade new HIV infections have been increasing in the WHO European Region and it suggests that the number of people in the Region living with undiagnosed HIV is on the rise again. Despite the potential under-diagnosis and under-reporting in 2020, 104 765 new HIV infections were diagnosed in 46 of the 53 countries in the European Region, including 14 971 from countries of the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA). This corresponds to 11.8 newly diagnosed infections per 100 000 population overall in the European Region. |
