title: Western Europe's response to HIV divided by regions.
abstract: The HIV epidemic in western Europe can be characterized as an epidemic disease that is concentrated among the high-risk populations of men who have sex with men and injection drug users. The disease's spread across the continent first appeared in northern nations such as Denmark and France, but later made its way to Spain and Portugal, which now is the only western European nation in which AIDS incidence has not decreased.
