R to @ECDC_EU: Some also expressed reservations about providing care to populations at higher risk of #HIV - like people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, sex workers or transgender individuals.

These attitudes were influenced by a lack of training & a perception of increased risk.

[2024-07-23 12:38 UTC]

R to @ECDC_EU: A small but notable percentage of #healthcare workers (8%) reported that they would avoid physical contact, and a quarter said they would wear double gloves when providing care to a person living with #HIV.

[2024-07-23 12:38 UTC]

R to @ECDC_EU: 44% percent lacked knowledge on post-exposure prophylaxis (#PEP), and almost 60% lacked knowledge on pre-exposure prophylaxis (#PrEP).

Less than a third of the respondents had correct knowledge on all three statements concerning HIV transmission and prevention.

[2024-07-23 12:38 UTC]

R to @ECDC_EU: 1/4 healthcare workers lacked knowledge on the concept of "#undetectable equals #untransmittable" (U=U) which means that people with #HIV who achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load cannot sexually transmit the virus to others.

[2024-07-23 12:38 UTC]

R to @ECDC_EU: Significant gaps in knowledge on #HIV transmission & prevention among #healthcare workers has been revealed - and this associates with higher levels of stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV, hampering efforts to reach the #SDG of Ending AIDS by 2030.

[2024-07-23 12:38 UTC]

R to @ECDC_EU: Our report assesses #HIV-related stigma and discrimination within healthcare settings in Europe and Central Asia.
