The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) have released two new additions to a series of European standards of care for HIV, which cover key aspects of HIV prevention, testing and treatment.
An estimated 2 334 662 people are living with HIV in Europe and Central Asia, of whom 1 944 695 have been diagnosed with the infection. As the population with HIV is aging, 18.7% of new HIV diagnoses occur in people aged over 50 years.
The current report presents findings from a clinical audit conducted on the PrEP Standards of Care module developed by ECDC in collaboration with EACS, which also serves as a model for future audits on other care standards.
This issue of the ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) covers the period 11 -17 October 2025 and includes updates on respiratory virus epidemiology in the EU/EEA, chikungunya, West Nile virus, dengue, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, avian influenza, Ebola, mpox and Rift Valley fever.
This report gives an overview of the countries and areas where dengue cases – and their corresponding case numbers - have been reported to the European surveillance portal for infectious diseases (EpiPulse).
