“…Historically, much attention has been given to preventing HIV infections in young people; yet, studies from Western Europe have shown that the average age at HIV diagnosis throughout the 1990s increased [5,6]. Moreover, as shown in Table 1, 12.9% of newly reported cases of HIV in Western Europe in 2007 were in people aged 50 years or older.…”

Objective The aim of the study was to report on HIV and older people in the European Region, including new data stratified by subregion and year. Methods Data were collected from the 2008 World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe, Communicable Diseases Unit survey on HIV/AIDS and health systems. Results It was found that 12.9% of newly reported cases of HIV infection in Western Europe in 2007 were in people aged 50 years or older. In Central Europe, almost one‐in‐10 newly reported cases of HIV infection were in older people, while the proportion in Eastern Europe was 3.7% in 2007. Conclusions The issue of HIV infection among older people is of increasing concern as more people age with HIV infection as a result of the availability of combination antiretroviral therapy.

“…Entre los datos del RS, la principal vía de transmisión en el período de estudio fue la relacionada con UDVP (42,2%); en cambio, entre los nuevos diagnósticos para el mismo período, la transmisión por vía heterosexual fue la causa en el 46,8% de los casos. Los nuevos datos aportados, en cuanto al cambio de patrón, coinciden con los observados en otras comunidades de España [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] .…”

“…Holanda y Francia son los últimos países que se han incorporado a la notificación del VIH 3 . En España se dispone de información de los nuevos diagnósticos de infección por el VIH de pocas comunidades autónomas, entre ellas Cataluña, Asturias, Canarias, La Rioja, Navarra y País Vasco [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] .…”

The HIV/AIDS Reporting System based on reporting of newly diagnosed HIV infections is feasible, since it has been useful in achieving the objectives of epidemiological HIV infection surveillance. It also provides more accurate information than does the AIDS Registry, which can be used to describe recent patterns of HIV transmission. The completeness of the new reporting system may be enhanced by including the diagnosis of HIV infection among the diseases of mandatory notification.

“…A pesar del consenso respecto a la conveniencia de extender este sistema a todo el Estado, diversas presiones sociales lo han impedido 9 . Recientemente, otras comunidades autónomas han puesto en marcha sistemas de vigilancia de estas características [6][7][8][9][10][11] . La coordinación de todos los sistemas autonómicos en un sistema estatal sería la mejor garantía para la eliminación de casos duplicados entre comunidades, como se está haciendo en el Registro de casos de sida.…”
