It is well-documented that early HIV diagnosis and linkage to care reduces morbidity and mortality as well as HIV transmission. We estimated the median time from HIV infection to diagnosis in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) at 2.9 years in 2016, with regional variation. Despite evidence of a decline in the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV in the EU/EEA, many remain undiagnosed, including 33% with more advanced HIV infection (CD4 < 350 cells/mm3).
有充分记录表明,早期艾滋病毒诊断及与治疗的衔接可降低发病率和死亡率以及艾滋病毒传播。我们估计,2016年欧盟/欧洲经济区(EU/EEA)从艾滋病毒感染到诊断的中位时间为2.9年,存在区域差异。尽管有证据表明欧盟/欧洲经济区未诊断出艾滋病毒的人数有所下降,但仍有许多人未被诊断出来,其中包括33%艾滋病毒感染较严重(CD4<350个细胞/mm³)的患者。
