This report describes studies on HIV incidence estimates in European countries and contains the results of a literature review of published incidence studies using Recent Infection Testing Algorithms (RITA) assays, an epidemiological framework for HIV incidence studies in Europe and a technical guide on how to integrate RITA as part of routine HIV surveillance.

This literature review was conducted as part of a project evaluating the effectiveness of antenatal screening for HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis and rubella susceptibility in EU/EEA Member States.

In order to collect evidence on effective types of antenatal screening intervention that are effective for population groups vulnerable to MTCT, a review of the existing published literature was performed.
