8. Ireland
Percentage of adults living with HIV/AIDS: 0.28
Up next in our list of countries with the highest HIV rates in Europe is Ireland that is another European country failing to deal with the HIV crisis, and the number of diagnosis in 2016 increased by 25% when compared to the previous year. The majority of those infected, around 53%, were from abroad and the Irish might point the finger at immigrants being the reason why the HIV rate is so high in the country. Nearly three-fourth of those infected are male, with the disease especially prevalent among men who have sex with men.
