AIDS 2018 | EACSociety

Joint Symposium

23 July 2018 - 12:30-14:30

A symposium entitled "Getting to 90: Addressing Inequalities in the HIV continuum of care in Europe and Central Asia" was jointly organised by the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) at the 22nd International AIDS Conference, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Although HIV incidence is increasing in the wider European region as a whole, there are huge differences in epidemiology between Western, Central and Eastern Europe. Likewise, while some countries within the region have been successful in meeting and surpassing the 90-90-90 targets, others are facing huge challenges and lagging behind. Success in meeting the 90-90-90 targets necessitates a coordinated response across community, public health and clinical sectors. This session focused on identifying countries and sub-populations in the European region where progress toward meeting the 90-90-90 targets has lagged behind.
