ECDC and WHO/Europe Report Near-Target HIV Control, Warn of Late Diagnosis and Prevention Gaps

New surveillance data identify late diagnosis as the main barrier to ending AIDS in Europe by 2030.

Overview

  • In the EU/EEA, 93% of people living with HIV were diagnosed, 95% of those diagnosed were on treatment, and 94% of those treated were virally suppressed in 2024, equating to 83% overall suppression.
  • Across Europe and Central Asia, the care cascade reached 85-86-95, corresponding to 70% of all people living with HIV being virally suppressed.
  • Late diagnosis remained widespread in 2024, accounting for 54% of cases across the WHO European Region and 48% within the EU/EEA.
  • Surveillance recorded 105,922 HIV diagnoses across the WHO European Region and 24,164 within the EU/EEA in 2024.
  • An estimated 617,712 people in 36 countries had transmissible viral loads, with stark disparities from 41% in the East to 15% in the West, and prevention gaps persist as five countries still lack PrEP guidelines.
