Clinical protocols for the WHO European Region

HIV/AIDS is a serious public health issue in the WHO European Region, where more than 2.5 million people are estimated to be living with HIV. The epidemic continues to spread, and in 2006 the Region recorded its second highest number of newly reported cases. Fortunately, with the introduction of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) more than 10 years ago, the prognosis for most infected people in the Region is no longer death but chronic disease management.
