Notes:

Data provided by ECDC/WHO, 2012 data collection

Data reported by November 2012.

Data are not comparable to those reported in previous years as cases were then reported by year of report. Data by year of diagnosis are closer to true trends in infection however some reporting delay in the most recent years is likely (data not adjusted for reporting delays).

(1) Retrospective reporting before 1999; data for 1999 may include many cases diagnosed in previous years, Only one testing centre reported number of tests performed. Number of tests are underreported.

(2) HIV reporting system modified in 2000; data for 2000 include many cases diagnosed in previous years; data prior to 2000 not available by year.

(3) Data not available by transmission group for adult cases after 2002, numbers of IDU reported separately. From 1993 to 2006 data are by year of notification. Surveillance system has been substantially modified in 2008.
