Projects with ECDC

ECDC European standards of HIV prevention and care

The ECDC European standards of HIV prevention and care project is a four-year project launched in beginning of 2023. The project will be implemented by the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) and the Centre of Excellence for Health, Immunity and Infection (CHIP) and will reinforce the strategic objective of ECDC to support the development of European standards of HIV prevention and care, considering public health, clinical and community perspectives. The overall objectives for the project are:

To define standards of HIV prevention and care along the care continuum pathway with related quality statements and measurable and auditable outcomes in Europe
To develop a tool which can be used to audit the implementation of defined standards at national, clinical and community level.

Throughout the project ECDC aims to develop 8-10 standards along the HIV prevention and care continuum pathway under the guidance of an advisory group consisting of clinical, public health and community experts.

ECDC Country support for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS, STIs, and viral hepatitis: ECDC Country support for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS, STIs, and viral hepatitis in EU/EEA countries," aims to bolster efforts within EU/EEA nations to prevent and control these infectious diseases. With a focus on strengthening public health policies and practices in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering technical and scientific exchange among professionals in these fields across the region, the project endeavors to enhance collaboration and effectiveness in addressing the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS, STIs, and viral hepatitis.

Survey: Measuring HIV knowledge and attitudes in the healthcare setting: The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) are working to better understand HIV knowledge and attitudes in healthcare settings. The survey conducted between September and November 2023, measures knowledge and attitudes towards HIV in the healthcare setting across the European Region.

The responses will help identify the needs and priorities of both healthcare workers and people living with HIV so that we can reduce HIV-related negative attitudes and behaviour in healthcare settings in Europe and Central Asia.
