Continuum of HIV care : monitoring implementation of the Dublin Declaration on partnership to fight HIV/AIDS in Europe and Central Asia : 2022 progress report

In 2021, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) updated the HIV targets for 2025 as part of the global strategy to end HIV transmission by 2030. The updated targets are for 95% of all people living with HIV (PLHIV) to be diagnosed, 95% of those diagnosed to be on antiretroviral treatment and 95% of those on treatment to be virally suppressed by 2025. These targets, referred to as the '95-95-95 targets', are equivalent to a substantive target of 86% of all PLHIV being virally suppressed. The WHO European Region includes 53 countries in Europe and Central Asia that are further divided into three subregions (West, Centre, East). For the purposes of Dublin Declaration monitoring, Kosovo 2 and Liechtenstein have also been included and assigned to the Centre and West subregions, respectively. These 55 countries are referred to herein as Europe and Central Asia. In this report, for the first time, we provide an overview of the data reported by countries in Europe and Central Asia compared with the updated targets. In 2022, 51 out of the 55 countries were able to report data on at least one stage of the continuum of HIV care, compared with 48 countries in 2021. Data on all four stages of the continuum were reported by 38 countries. For the 51 countries reporting in 2022, 42 countries reported data related to the years 2020 to 2022, while nine countries reported data relating to the years prior to 2020. For each country, the most recent reporting year was used in this analysis
