Migrants are a diverse group, with various drivers of migration and various HIV risk factors. As the HIV epidemic evolves, public health strategies must adapt to shifting epidemiological trends, refining approaches to prevention, testing, and treatment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals set for 2030. To guide these programmes, this study aimed to assess trends in new HIV diagnoses among migrants in EU/EEA countries from 2014 to 2023, focusing on sociodemographic factors associated with late diagnosis.

This report presents the results of a survey among EU/EEA Member States in relation to the HIV epidemic among migrants and current national prevention interventions, policies and barriers to the public health response.

In this study, a mathematical model was applied to data from the mandatory declaration (OD) of HIV in France, in order to estimate the proportion of infections after arrival in France among people born abroad who discover their seropositivity in France. Nearly half of people born abroad who discover they are HIV-positive in France were infected after arriving in France. This proportion varied according to the mode of infection, country of origin and region of residence. These estimates could provide a more appropriate approach to HIV prevention and care for people born abroad.

This cross-sectional study focused on ≥ 18-year-old MSM born outside France, receiving HIV care in the Paris region. Information on migration history, socioeconomic condition, sexual activity, and health was collected in May 2021–June 2022 through self-administered questionnaires and medical records. Post-migration-HIV-acquisition rate and delay between arrival in France and HIV acquisition were estimated from biographical data and CD4⁺ T-cell counts. Predictors of HIV acquisition within 1 year after migration were determined using logistic regression.

In 2022, a ECDC survey was used to collect data to monitor the implementation of the 2004 Dublin Declaration. The survey contained specific questions in relation to the HIV epidemic among migrants, in addition to questions relating to the current national prevention interventions, policies and barriers to the public health response. This report presents the results of the survey.

This study aims to estimate the timing of post-migration HIV acquisition among sub-Saharan migrants in France and to understand the correlates of post-migration infection.
