Hiv moet niet meldingsplichtig worden

- There is a need for effective strategies in HIV control. However, there is no evidence that making HIV a notifiable disease will contribute to more effective prevention. Making HIV a notifiable disease does not result in more HIV testing and it may even hamper the current proactive testing policy. Moreover, it does not contribute to better surveillance as the current HIV monitoring system provides excellent data on the state of the epidemic. In conclusion, making HIV a notifiable disease should not be introduced.
