Late testing rates declining in Europe, but largely in gay men

Over Europe as a whole, the proportion of people testing late for HIV decreased between 2002 and 2010, a presentation at the 14th European AIDS Conference in Brussels last week showed, and the average CD4 count on diagnosis increased. However, these changes have mainly been seen in gay men; heterosexual people and, especially, older people are still much more likely than average not to be diagnosed until they have a low CD4 count or are even sick with AIDS-related conditions.
