  • *Data are presented according to three key transmission groups that are available from the EuroHIV report for the year 2006. As the number of cases attributable to mother-to-child transmission is small, these data are not presented. The proportion of unknown cases of transmission is not available from the EuroHIV report.

  • In Estonia, data on the mode of transmission are not available since 2002. Turkmenistan reported only two cases of HIV since 1989.
