Abstract

It has been estimated that 30 percent of people living with HIV in the European Union (EU) are unaware of their infection [1]. As undiagnosed patients cannot benefit from early treatment and may unknowingly transmit HIV to others, this situation poses a major challenge in the fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
