 |

Sweden reached the 95-95-95 UNAIDS and WHO targets for the HIV epidemic, making it the first country in the world to achieve these targets, and even if the targets were supposed to be reached by 2025. This means that in Sweden, 95% of all people living with HIV have been diagnosed, 95% of them are receiving treatment, and 95% of those treated have undetectable viral load. This is according to a study – “Sweden surpasses the UNAIDS 95-95-95 target: estimating HIV-1 incidence, 2003 to 2022” by Erik Lundgren, Macauley Locke, Ethan Romero-Severson, et al – that was published in Eurosurveillance.
