252 cases of HIV reported during the first half of 2007 in Sweden

153 are men and 99 are women. 86 persons were infected in Sweden. In total 7700 cases of HIV  have been reported in Sweden. 4000 live in Sweden, while the rest have either passed away or left the country. (www.dn.se)

Increased cases of HIV seems to be a trend in our countries. When people are checked for STDs in Sweden, health care professionals have not encouraged HIV tests because the risk of infection has been so small - maybe the time has come to rethink this as HIV is now clearly also established in our countries.
