在过去的几个月里，在实施了针对2019年冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)大流行的遏制措施后，比利时列日艾滋病参考中心新诊断的人类免疫缺陷病毒(艾滋病毒)数量大幅减少。艾滋病毒筛查测试的数量也大幅下降到前所未有的水平。艾滋病毒诊断率的下降是由于在采取此类措施之前对感染者的漏诊，以及新冠肺炎大流行期间高危性行为的减少。
During the last months and following the implementation of containment measures in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the number of new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnoses radically decreased in Liege AIDS Reference Center, Belgium. The number of HIV screening tests has also dramatically dropped down to an unprecedented level. This decline of HIV diagnosis is caused by missed diagnoses of individuals infected before the establishment of such measures and to the reduction of high-risk sexual behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic.
