Main epidemiological trends
The Czech Republic remains a country with a relatively low HIV/AIDS prevalence both in terms of relative number of new cases (2,35 cases per 100.000 inhabitants in 2020) and in terms of cumulative number of HIV infections (3.841 cases since 1985).
In 2020, 251 new cases of HIV infection were detected in the Czech Republic, which is roughly at the level of 2017 (a slight increase of new cases in comparison to data collected in 2018 and 2019). Among the cases of 2020 there are twice as many people (69), who already knew about their HIV positivity (in comparison with previous years).
