| | | Regional Overview | | Abstracted from the 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic, UNAIDS, August 2008. | | Epidemiology and Trends | | In Western Europe, new HIV diagnoses are increasing, as is the total number of people living with HIV. Wide access to antiretroviral treatment is available, which contributes to prevalence rates. Men who have sex with men continue to be the population group most at risk of acquiring HIV within most Western European countries. Indeed, the number of new HIV diagnoses attributed to unprotected sex between men has increased sharply in recent years in Western Europe. |
