Despite effective combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), late HIV diagnosis remains a concern in Europe. Current HIV testing strategies are inconsistent, lacking evidence and potentially impacting public health outcomes.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Health Policy

Background:

Universal access to combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) offers effective HIV treatment.
Awareness of serostatus and access to testing are crucial for benefiting from ART.
Despite ART availability, late HIV diagnosis rates remain stable or increasing in Europe.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and analyze HIV testing strategies across European countries.
To identify inconsistencies in national HIV testing policies and practices.
To inform European stakeholders on evidence-based testing strategies.

Main Methods:

Review of national HIV testing policies and practices in European countries.
Analysis of trends in HIV diagnosis rates, particularly late diagnoses.

Examination of the alignment of national strategies with new global guidelines.

Main Results:

Significant differences observed in HIV testing policies and practices across Europe.
Emerging trend towards routine and opt-out HIV testing in several countries.
Gaps identified in the understanding and evidence base for effective HIV testing strategies.

Conclusions:

European national HIV testing policies remain largely incoherent and lack a strong evidence base.
Inconsistent testing strategies may have serious public health implications for HIV management.
Further research and evidence are needed to develop effective and unified European HIV testing strategies.
