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).
