Speaking at the Ministerial Conference 'Fighting against HIV/AIDS ten years after the Dublin Declaration' organised by the Italian Presidency in Rome, Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Vytenis Andriukaitis made a statement on World AIDS Day 2014, Brussels, 27 November 2014. According to the latest figures released by the European Centre for Diseases Prevention and Control (ECDC) on the 27 November 2014, there were 29 000 new HIV infections in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) in 2013. In the EU, almost half (47%) of infections are diagnosed late, which reflects low testing rates often caused by fear of discrimination. |
