People who inject drugs remain hard-to-reach population across all HIV continuum stages in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe – data from Euro-guidelines in Central and Eastern Europe Network

Abstract

Irrespective of the diversity in national HIV epidemics, countries from all three regions reported PWIDs as hard-to-reach population across all HIV continuum stages. Some countries are close to the UNAIDS 2020 goals, others need to strive for progress. However, differences in data sources and variations in definitions limit the utility of continuum of care as a comparative tool.
