A 95% decline in estimated newly acquired HIV infections, Amsterdam, 2010 to 2022

HIV Transmission Elimination AMsterdam (H-TEAM) Initiative. Euro Surveill. 2023 Oct.

Abstract

The infrastructure in cities provides unique opportunities to eliminate HIV. Since 2014, the HIV Transmission Elimination AMsterdam Initiative, a consortium involved in HIV prevention and care, has employed an integrated approach to curb HIV incidence in Amsterdam. This effort contributed to the 95% decline in estimated newly acquired infections and the 79% decline in observed new HIV diagnoses in Amsterdam from 2010 to 2022. In 2022, Amsterdam reached and exceeded the 95-95-95 UNAIDS treatment cascade goals (98-95%-96%).

Keywords: Amsterdam; HIV infection; The Netherlands; city-approach; epidemiology; fast track city; infection control; modelling; policy; public health policy; sexually transmitted infections; viral infections.
