HIV wykryto w 1980 roku. Najpierw była to śmiertelna diagnoza, ale obecnie jest to choroba przewlekła, którą dość łatwo można trzymać pod kontrolą. Zawdzięczamy to globalnemu postępowi w leczeniu i profilaktyce. Dotychczas na całym świecie wirusem HIV zaraziło się ponad 88 milionów ludzi, a zmarły 42 miliony. Obecnie z wirusem żyje niemal 40 mln osób, w tym szacunkowo 810 000 osób w Unii. Chociaż za systemy opieki zdrowotnej odpowiadają poszczególne państwa członkowskie, Unia wspiera programy transgraniczne i kampanie na rzecz zdrowia publicznego oraz finansuje badania za pośrednictwem programu „Horyzont Europa”. Unia angażuje się też w realizację celów UNAIDS „95-95-95”: do 2025 roku 95% osób zakażonych wirusem HIV powinno znać swój status serologiczny, 95% osób, które wiedzą, że są zarażone, powinno otrzymywać leczenie, a 95 % osób otrzymujących leczenie powinno osiągnąć supresję wirusa. W tym odcinku „Podnieść poprzeczkę – lepsze stanowienie prawa” badamy, jaką rolę odgrywa Unia w zapobieganiu HIV, zwalczaniu stygmatyzacji i poprawie jakości życia w państwach Unii. Celem jest przyszłość wolna od HIV w 2030 roku.

With war having returned to the European continent, measuring the level of threats to peace, security and democracy around the world – as the 'Normandy Index' does – is more important than ever. The annual Index was presented for the first time at the Normandy Peace Forum in June 2019, as a result of a partnership between the European Parliament and the Region of Normandy. The Index has been designed and prepared by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), in conjunction with and on the basis of data provided by the Institute for Economics and Peace. This paper sets out the findings of the 2023 exercise, which draws on data compiled in 2022, and explains how the Index can be used to compare peace – defined on the basis of a given country's performance against a range of predetermined threats – across countries and regions. It is complemented by 61 individual country case studies, derived from the Index. The paper forms part of the EPRS contribution to the 2023 Normandy World Peace Foru
