This report is the latest in a series published jointly by European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the WHO Regional Office for Europe that has been reporting data on HIV and AIDS in the WHO European Region and in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) since 2007.

Book excerpt: The WHO Regional Office for Europe has combined its 13 protocols on treatment of and care for people with HIV and AIDS in one volume. The protocols are the cornerstone of the strategic actions that WHO has taken as part of its contribution to achieving the goal of universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support services. The protocols were specifically developed for the entire WHO European Region. Together, they represent a comprehensive and evidence-based tool that offers health professionals clear and specific advice on diagnosing and managing a wide range of health issues related to HIV/AIDS for adults, adolescents and children, including antiretroviral treatment, the management of opportunistic infections, tuberculosis, hepatitis, injecting drug use, sexual and reproductive health, the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission, immunization, palliative care and post-exposure prophylaxis.

Download or read book HIV AIDS Surveillance in Europe 2011 written by European Union. European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV infection is of major public health importance in Europe. In 2011, 53 974 HIV diagnoses were reported by 50 of the 53 countries in the WHO European Region, of which 28 038 were reported by the countries in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA). No data were received from Liechtenstein, Monaco, Russia or Uzbekistan. The surveillance results suggest that HIV transmission continues in many countries, with an overall rate of 7.6 diagnoses per 100 000 population for the WHO European Region and 5.7 in the EU/EEA. The rates are highest in the East of the Region (Table 1.1). The main transmission mode varies by geographical area, illustrating the wide diversity in the epidemiology of HIV in Europe; heterosexual transmission is the main mode of transmission in the entire WHO European Region but sexual transmission between men is the most common mode in the EU/EEA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early 2020s marked the fortieth anniversary of the first confirmed cases of AIDS and a new wave of historical interest in the ongoing epidemic. This edited collection showcases some of this exciting new work, with a particular focus on less well-known histories from western Europe. Featuring research from social, cultural and public historians, sociologists and area studies scholars, its eight chapters address experiences, events and memories across regions and nations including Scotland, Wales, Italy, Norway and the Netherlands, paying careful attention to often-overlooked groups including drug users, sex workers, nurses, mothers and people in prison. Offering new perspectives on the development and implementation of policy, the nature of activism and expertise and which (or whose) histories are remembered, it is essential reading not only for historians of health but also for all those working in HIV/AIDS studies.

Book excerpt: Although HIV infection is preventable, significant HIV transmission continues across the WHO European Region. In 2018, 141 552 newly diagnosed HIV infections were reported in 50 of the 53 countries in the WHO European Region including 26 164 from the EU/EEA. This corresponds to a crude rate of 16.2 newly diagnosed infections per 100 000 population. This year, Russia has reported data for 2018 to the joint surveillance system, and in addition historic data for 2009-2017. It should be noted that reporting was limited to data on new HIV diagnoses by sex and data on HIV testing. This fact needs to be taken into account when comparing the data with the previous years and analysing the trends.

Download or read book HIV AIDS in Europe written by Matic S. and published by WHO Regional Office for Europe. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe today HIV/AIDS prevention treatment and care are needed more than ever. HIV incidence steady in western and central Europe and dramatically increasing in eastern Europe remains a major challenge to public health in the 21st century. With more than two million people living with HIV/AIDS in the WHO European Region no country has been spared. This book tells the story of HIV/AIDS in Europe from a broad variety of perspectives: biomedical social cultural economic and political. The authors are leading experts from across the Region and include both the infected and the affected be they doctors or former drug users United Nations employees or gay men public health researchers or community activists. They describe how from the first documented cases in 1981 to the present era of antiretroviral management controlling the human immunodeficiency virus in Europe has proven elusive. Yet while antiretroviral therapy lets many HIV-positive Europeans lead normal lives the vast majority of the Region s infected residents continue to face the disease unarmed. This volume not only analyses the past and surveys the present but suggests how to move towards two fundamental goals: providing universal access to treatment and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Download or read book Tackling the World s Fastest Growing HIV Epidemic written by Feng Zhao and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-06-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eastern Europe and Central Asia region has the world’s fastestgrowing HIV epidemic. Although still concentrated, the epidemic has diversified, affecting several key populations in many countries. This change has increased the number of people in need, the ways the epidemic can spread, and the complexity of formulating an effective strategy to combat it. At the same time, international funding is insufficient to cover the growing need, and domestic plans to cover the funding gaps, in many cases, fall short. In this environment, the need to use data to make the best possible decisions about using available funds is essential. Tackling the World’s Fastest-Growing HIV Epidemic tells the story of how, in 11 countries across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, small groups of decision-makers and experts came together to carry out innovative, groundbreaking analyses for each country. It details the steps these nations have taken to strengthen their HIV programs based on the findings while highlighting critical issues for the road ahead. In so doing, the book also shows the potential of what can be done with a mathematical model and how it can support real-life improvements in policy and more efficacious budget allocations. It is the record of a unique undertaking to improve public health investments that offers lessons for many communities.
