title: [AIDS mortality in Switzerland: its characteristics and its impact on overall mortality].
abstract: The AIDS epidemic has transformed not only the mortality at some younger ages, but also the perception of the needs in health that we may have, since the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS, coupled with a prognosis fatal disease until the mid-1990s. The eyes of demography, here allows to highlight the characteristics of AIDS mortality in Switzerland, and changes the pattern of mortality that Switzerland experienced by AIDS. The author also suggests, drawing on traditional demographic tools, a method to attempt to measure the impact of AIDS mortality on life expectancy at birth in Switzerland. A parallel with the analysis of mortality from tumors reinforces the importance of the impact of AIDS mortality.
