Every eighth person living with HIV in the EU is undiagnosed. The figure comes from a report produced by the European infectious disease control agency, ECDC, and WHO Europe – which is releasing the report ahead of tomorrow’s International World AIDS Day.

ECDC and WHO estimate that 780,000 people are living with HIV in the EU today, but that only 88 percent know that they are ill.

“This is not good because a late diagnosis leads to a higher risk of serious illness or even death,” writes Andrea Ammon, director general of the ECDC, in a press release.

Furthermore, she says that many who are sick with HIV do not receive the care they need, and risk infecting others.

In Sweden, around 8,000 people live today with known HIV infection, and around 450 people are diagnosed each year, according to the Public Health Agency.

For a time

Today, the verdict was handed down against four men who were charged with involvement in a murder in Enköping.

A man was found shot in a field last August. The origin of the murder was an argument over a “neglected” weapon, an AK-44.

Two men were charged with murder, alternatively aiding and abetting murder. They have blamed each other, and the prosecution had not been able to prove who fired the fatal shot.

– I mean that they were both fully involved in everything that happened until he was shot dead and that they should therefore both be held responsible regardless of who was holding the weapon when the shot was fired, prosecutor Thomas Forsberg told SVT in connection with the prosecution.

The two accused of murder are both convicted of aiding and abetting murder. A 33-year-old man to 12 years in prison, and a 20-year-old man to six years in prison. It is because of the 20-year-old’s age that he gets his sentence halved.

They have both claimed that they were ordered to shoot the person, by a man aged 35. But he is acquitted of incitement to murder.
