An 'alarm bell': Experts warn HIV has hit a 10 year high in Europe ahead of 30th World Aids Day The rate of new HIV infections reached a decade-long high in Europe last year, raising an "alarm bell" ahead of the 30th anniversary of World Aids Day on Saturday.
Despite the huge progress made in controlling the global endemic since the 1980s, Europe saw nearly 160,000 new HIV cases in 2017.
This is equivalent to 20 people per 100,000, a rise from the 18.2 new diagnoses per 100,000 people in 2016, according to a joint report from the World Health Organization (WHO) and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The Daily Telegraph
