In Italy, the total number of newly diagnosed HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infections peaked in 2012, when 4,162 new cases were recorded. Thereafter, the number gradually decreased until 2020, when 1,303 individuals were newly diagnosed with HIV. This virus is responsible for AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), which is a condition that remarkably weakens the immune system, making the contraction of diseases much more likely.
*The figure for 2008 is partial as data for eight out of the 20 Italian regions were not available.
**The source warns that data for 2020 may be biased due to the COVID-19 emergency.
Data prior to 2012 were taken from previous publications by the source.
