title: [HIV/AIDS development in Denmark and Sweden. Are there differences?].
abstract: National surveillance data from Denmark and Sweden were analyzed for trends in the incidence of HIV and AIDS. By the end of 1995, the cumulative number of AIDS cases was higher in Denmark than in Sweden, but since the annual incidence was still increasing in Sweden and slightly decreasing in Denmark, the Denmark:Sweden ratio of the overall annual AIDS incidence has decreased since 1992, and so has this ratio of incidence among homo/bisexual men. The cumulative number of acquired infections was estimated to be higher in Denmark than in Sweden, although the bi-annual proportional increase in incidence from 1987 to 1993 was higher in Sweden than in Denmark. In both countries, the annual number of new identified HIV infections among homo/bisexual men has become stable, although the Denmark:Sweden ratio has decreased since 1990. In conclusion, the national epidemiological data do not indicate that the Swedish strategy has been more effective than the Danish in preventing new HIV infections.
