Sweden has surpassed the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals, an important milestone in the fight against HIV. By 2022, 96% of people living with HIV (PWHIV) in Sweden have been diagnosed, 99% of those diagnosed are on antiviral treatment, and 98% of treated individuals have achieved viral suppression. This progress comes despite the fact that half of all PWHIV in Sweden contracted HIV abroad.
The new biomarker model developed by Thomas Leitner, former PhD student of Prof. Sönnerborg at Karolinska Institutet, now at Los Alamos National Laboratory has been used to generate the results found in the paper “Sweden surpasses the UNAIDS 95-95-95 target: estimating HIV-1 incidence, 2003 to 2022” as it helps to better estimate the number of undiagnosed cases.
