Key points: HIV infection remains of major public health importance in Europe, with evidence of increasing transmission of HIV in several European countries. Overall, despite incomplete reporting, the number of newly diagnosed cases of HIV infection reported for 2008 has increased, while the number of diagnosed AIDS cases has continued to decline in the WHO European Region, except in the East, where the number of AIDS cases has increased.
