HIV transmission is still a major concern in Europe, in particular in the eastern part of the WHO European Region.

In 2015, more than 153 000 people were diagnosed with HIV, the highest number of newly diagnosed infections ever reported in one year. Of these, 79% were diagnosed in the East of the Region and 19% in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA). Newly diagnosed infections from Russia represented 64% of all cases in the WHO European Region and 81% of cases in the East of the Region. 

The data presented in this report indicate that, despite significant efforts dedicated to the prevention and control of HIV in Europe, the number of new HIV diagnoses has not declined substantially over the last decade in the western part of the Region and the EU/EEA, and has more than doubled in the East. In the Centre, while remaining at a low level overall, the number of new diagnoses has increased more than anywhere else in the Region. (WHO, Regional Office for Europe, November 2016)

BANGKOK, 24 January 2017—The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the AIDS Data Hub, a regional data analysis team, have launched a mobile application called AIDSDataHub. The app features strategic information including UNAIDS Snapshots: HIV epidemic in Asia and the Pacific which is an interactive report with links to videos, colourful infographics and bite-size information on the HIV epidemic and response in countries, as well as on key populations at higher risk of HIV in Asia and the Pacific.

(...)

“We need a data revolution in order to have the right information to track the progress countries are making towards the Fast-Track targets,” said Steve Kraus, Director of the UNAIDS Regional Support Team for Asia and the Pacific. “The AIDSDataHub app supports researchers, government and civil society programme managers by providing a comprehensive set of accurate information on a regular basis.”

The app can be downloaded for free through the Apple store or Google Play. Many of the  graphs and visuals contain key messages, which support evidence-informed solutions and can help with Fast-Track advocacy efforts. (UNAIDS Bagkok - Data Hub Evidence To Action, 25.01.2017)

Seit kurzem werden sogenannte breit-neutralisierende Antikörper bei Patienten mit einer HIV-Infektion experimentell eingesetzt. Das Forscherteam um Prof. Dr. Florian Klein, Uniklinik Köln und Deutsches Zentrum für Infektionsforschung (DZIF), hat einen neuen HIV neutralisierenden Antikörper nun erstmals im Menschen untersucht. Die Studie, die in enger Kooperation mit der Rockefeller University in New York durchgeführt wurde, ist jüngst in dem renommierten Wissenschaftsmagazin Nature Medicine veröffentlicht worden.

Copenhagen. For the first time, the cumulative number of HIV cases in the WHO European Region increased to over 2 million. More than 153 000 new HIV cases contributed to this figure in 2015 – a 7% increase compared to the previous year and the highest annual number since reporting began in the 1980s. These are the main findings of the new report "HIV/AIDS surveillance in Europe 2015", released jointly by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) ahead of World AIDS Day 2016.
