The number of new HIV cases in Norway was fluctuating over the years, and in 2022 it was at 245 cases, a big increase compared to the previous year. In 2022 Norway had a lower number of new HIV cases than both of its neighboring countries Denmark and Sweden.
Decline in number of new cases
The number of new HIV cases was up at a peak in 2008, when there were 299 new cases. Since then it has gradually decreased, with tops in 2011 and 2014 in-between. According to Folkehelseinstituttet (Norwegian Institute of Public health), the reason behind the decrease have been use of condom, early diagnosis, quick start of treatment and the access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). However we observed a new peak in 2022.
Increase in other sexually transmitted diseases
Whilst the number of HIV cases gradually decreased in Norway, except for 2022, the pattern for other sexually transmitted diseases did was different. The number of syphilis cases fluctuated but generally increased during the period from 2009 to 2022, and the number chlamydia cases peaked in 2022.
