This report is the latest in a series published jointly by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the WHO Regional Office for Europe that has been summarizing data on HIV and AIDS in the WHO European Region and in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) since 2007.
In 2020, using data from countries able to provide at least two consecutive stages of the continuum, the overall performance of the European and Central Asian region against the global 90-90-90 targets is 82% of all PLHIV with HIV diagnosed, 67% of those diagnosed with HIV on treatment and 90% of those on treatment virally suppressed. More progress is needed to meet the substantive target of 73% of all PLHIV being virally suppressed, with performance for the overall region at 50% (based on the countries that submitted data for all four stages of the continuum).

This report provides an analysis of the external quality assessment (EQA) for the antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) performance of laboratories participating in the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) in 2019. A total of 952 laboratories (1–95 per country) from 30 EU/EEA countries participated in the EQA exercise.
HIV combination prevention is an approach that brings together single prevention initiatives into a comprehensive programme. This approach considers that the offer of multiple evidence-based interventions in a comprehensive programme will have a greater impact on HIV transmission than investing in a single strategy. In this report we
present and test the feasibility of a novel approach to monitoring the implementation of combination HIV prevention at national level.
