Abstract

The recent development of serological assays for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that are able to distinguish recent from long-standing infection has generated an important tool for HIV surveillance. In the European Union (EU), a number of different serological assays are being used, and there is the danger that that HIV incidence estimates in different countries, or even within a country, may not be comparable.
