Percentages correspond to proportions of individuals out of the previous stage, except for the last column where the percentage suppressed out of the total PLHIV is presented.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; MSM, men who have sex with men; PLHIV, people living with human immunodeficiency virus; PWID, people who inject drugs.

aHIV-RNA measurement ≤200 copies/mL at last visit.

bNon-MSM, non-PWID, that is, mainly people presumed to have acquired HIV via sex between men and women.

cBased on available data: for Croatia only overall estimates and estimates for MSM were produced, and for Sweden only overall estimates were produced. The range of the number of PLHIV was not estimated since not all countries have provided lower and upper estimates. For stages 2–4, ranges were estimated based on available data.
