Abstract EN
Objective.
To estimate the HIV prevalence and the number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Italy with a projection for 2020.
Methods.
Two methods elaborated by Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) were used: Estimate and Projection Package and Spectrum.
Results.
A total of 123,000 (115,000–145,000) individuals aged 15 or more were estimated to be living with HIV in Italy at the end of 2012 and the estimated HIV prevalence was 0.28 (0.24–0.32) per 100 residents aged 15 or more.
In 2012, the estimated number of new HIV infections among adults was 3,000 (2,700–4,000), and the number of adults in need for ART was 93,000 (80,000–110,000).
The projection estimates that 130,000 (110,000–150,000) adults will live with HIV/AIDS in 2020 in Italy.
Conclusion.
Estimates of PLHIV in Italy stress the high number of PLHIV in need of care and treatment, as well as the need for more information and prevention campaigns.
