Message from the President
Dear EACS members,
Happy New Year!
2020 marks a very special year with regard to HIV. In December 2013, the UNAIDS Program Coordinating Board called on UNAIDS to support country- and region-led efforts to establish new targets for HIV treatment scale-up beyond 2015. The ambitious 90-90-90 target was defined which aimed at having 90% of all people living with HIV knowing their HIV status by 2020. Moreover, by 2020, 90% of all people with diagnosed HIV infection should receive sustained antiretroviral therapy and of those 90% should have viral suppression. Although these ambitious targets have been met by some countries, such as Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, there remain huge gaps particularly in Eastern and Central Europe.

World AIDS Day 2019 - Message from the President and President-elect
1 December 2019
The robust “toolkit” for preventing HIV, including the notion of undetectable = untransmittable (U=U) and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) should theoretically be enough to end the HIV epidemic. And indeed many inspiring and encouraging examples of good HIV prevention and care projects and models exist globally. However, although HIV-related infections have been reduced by 47% worldwide between 1996 and 2017, there is a continuous increase of HIV infections in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

European Testing Week
22-29 November 2019
European Testing Week was launched by the EuroTEST initiative (formerly known as HIV in Europe) in 2013 to encourage increased testing efforts and promote awareness of the benefits of earlier testing and linkage to care. The theme for the November 2019 ETW emphasises the importance of integrated testing and other related activities focused on increasing awareness and access to testing and treatment of HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections.
