Eiropas Savienîbas Veselîbas aizsardzîbas un pârtikas produktu droðîbas komisârs Dr. Vitenis Andrukaitis atzîmç sekojoðo:
"Pârâk daudz ir cilvçku, kas dzîvo ar HIV, bet nezina par savu statusu. Jo agrâk par savu HIV statusu uzzina vîrieði un sievietes, jo âtrâk viòi varçs uzsâkt antiretrovîrusu terapiju un apturçt HIV nodoðanu dzimumceïâ. Tas novedîs pie bûtiskâm pozitîvâm pârmaiòâm to cilvçku dzîvç, kas dzîvo ar HIV, gan mainîs arî viòu tuvinieku dzîvi. Tâpçc vçl jo svarîgâk ir, lai sabiedrîbas veselîbas aprûpes pakalpojumi nodroðinâtu vieglu pieeju testçðanai, it îpaði tiem, kas ir pakïauti riskam inficçties ar HIV, kâ arî viòus varçtu âtri pâradresçt uz ârstniecîbas iestâdçm, lai pçc iespçjas âtrâk uzsâktu efektîvu ârstçðanu un novçrstu tâlâkas inficçðanas risku. Mums ir jâaktivizç mûsu kopîgie centieni, kas vçrsti uz to, lai apturçtu HIV epidçmijas izplatîbu, lai lîdz 2030. gadam varçtu sasniegt ilgtspçjîgas attîstîbas mçríi."

Many women in the WHO European Region, particularly those in their 40s, are diagnosed at a late stage of HIV infection when their immune system is already starting to fail. They are three to four times more likely to be diagnosed late than younger women. According to data for 2018 released today by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the WHO Regional Office for Europe, women accounted for one-third of the 141 000 new HIV diagnoses in the Region, indicating that this population needs more attention in Europe's prevention and testing efforts.
The HIV epidemic in the Region is driven by a persistent problem with late diagnosis, and this affects 54% of known cases among women. Such proportions of late diagnoses are partly a result of relatively low HIV testing coverage and uptake in the Region, and are an indication that sexual risks, including HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, are not being adequately addressed with older adults.
Two-thirds (60%) of the HIV diagnoses among women in 2018 were in the age group 30–49 years old. Heterosexual sex was the most commonly reported HIV transmission mode (92%) among women in the Region. ...>
