In Austria, most HIV-infected persons are registered and treated in the HIV Cohort (AHIVCOS). An association of meanwhile nine clinics cares for the patients according to a uniform system and thus also enables comparative research.

Assuming that AHIVCOS is representative for Austria, the total estimate using the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) modeling tool for people living with HIV in Austria in 2022 is 10,900. This is an overestimate because the coverage of people who left the country is very incomplete (e.g., migrant workers from Europe working mainly in the tourism industry, rejection of asylum applications). According to data from the umbrella organization of social security institutions, 7,396 people received therapy with anti-HIV drugs ("antiretroviral therapy -ART") in 2021, 67% of whom were served by AHIVCOS treatment centers.
