Barring The Way To Health | Legal and regulatory barriers which impede the HIV care continuum in Europe

This database shows the most common legal and regulatory barriers to HIV testing, linkage to care and treatment access across Europe and in each individual European country, including how they affect particular key populations. As of July 2018 no updates have been made to the information

Overview

Legal and regulatory barriers to best practice in HIV testing, care and treatment exist in all countries and in a variety of forms. They are a large part of what prevents us from reaching the UNAIDS 90/90/90 target in each country's HIV care continuum.

The map and grid enable comparison with other countries in the region as well as a quick check on individual countries. By clicking on specific country names in the grid, you can also access more detailed information on that country. Please use this information alongside the other advocacy tools provided by OptTEST and others to reduce these barriers and increase HIV testing, linkage to care and treatment access in your country.

If there are blank data fields or incorrect data on your country, please use the form to provide us with better data including links to any documentary proofs. The database depends on your contributions and updates.
