Supplementary document with country case studies in relation to the ECDC operational guidance on HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in the EU/EEA and the UK: Implementation, standards and monitoring.
This operational guidance document provides practical recommendations and key considerations to inform the development and
implementation of PrEP programmes at national and sub-national levels throughout the EU/EEA.
ECDC has developed an operational guidance to support countries in their efforts and to harmonise the overall approach taken to PrEP implementation in the region.
One of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals is to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Still, 2 094 AIDS cases were reported in the EU/EEA during 2019. This shows a significant problem with late diagnosis of HIV infection. Detecting HIV only years after the infection is one reason for on-going transmission in Europe. One in every four AIDS cases occurred long after HIV diagnosis, indicating insufficient linkage to HIV care, access to antiretroviral treatment and adherence support.
French authorities have reported an increased number of dengue cases in Martinique in recent months. The number of cases notified constitute the largest outbreak reported on the island in the last decade.
