One reason is the large influx of immigrants to Sweden in 2016. This paper aims to measure self-sufficiency over time, across the life cycle, depending on geographical origin, and time spent in Sweden to provide information about how self-sufficiency has developed over time and across the life cycle. To address the potential problem of lack of self-sufficiency knowledge about its extent and predominance in certain groups is essential. Detailed register data on the entire population in Sweden are used to study the ability to support oneself. Results show that the self-sufficiency rate has improved since 2016, the year Sweden received many immigrants. However, among those who are not self-sufficient, the dependence on the public has increased. There are signs that the welfare state’s redistributive role over the life cycle has decreased over time, both in younger and older ages. Furthermore, the self-sufficiency rate is lower for individuals born outside of Sweden but increases the longer they have resided in Sweden.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/264a847e-6b53-4382-a6ec-0eead980997d Routledge 2025 eng Immigration life-cycle transfers self-sufficiency transfers Social Work Economics 1087-5549 85198555843 10.1080/10875549.2024.2379763 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10875549.2024.2379763 29 4 345 362 18 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85198555843 264a847e-6b53-4382-a6ec-0eead980997d 2024-11-28T12:25:27+01:00 2026-02-07T02:30:05+01:00 2024-11-28T12:25:27+01:00 3 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 1 Johan Matz author 020f0714-dbb7-4c93-bedf-b430a80dfc00 In March 1946 the Soviet government decided to radically revise their policy towards<br/>Sweden. The Soviet demand, ever since November 1944, for the total extradition of<br/>the approximately 30,000 Baltic refugees in Sweden was suddenly dropped and a<br/>number of measures were taken by Moscow to accomplish a rapprochement between<br/>the two countries. On the basis of recently declassified Soviet encrypted diplomatic<br/>correspondence between the Soviet mission in Stockholm and the Soviet foreign<br/>ministry for the years 1944–1947, this article analyses the way in which the Soviet<br/>envoy to Sweden, Il’ia Chernyshev, represented Swedish affairs before his superiors in<br/>Moscow, and how these representations may have contributed to Moscow’s decision<br/>to revise its policy towards Sweden. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/d54417f1-1252-4a8c-9ff6-adba5424bf3e Routledge 2015 eng Political Science 84922375324 10.1080/14682745.2014.920825 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14682745.2014.920825 yes 15 1 27 48 21 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84922375324 yes d54417f1-1252-4a8c-9ff6-adba5424bf3e 2022-03-18T08:19:53+01:00 2025-10-14T09:44:01+02:00 2022-03-18T08:19:53+01:00 4 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 3 Gunlög Fur author Jonas M.

Everyday life and identities in the seventeenth century colony of New Sweden project The New Sweden Colony (1638-1655) is often regarded as an anomaly in the context of 17th century Swedish politics and in the context of other European colonies in America. Equally, the colony's importance in the historical narrative of early modern Sweden and colonial America has been modest. However, more recent research on Scandinavian involvement in the Atlantic economy and early modern politics at home and abroad shows that Sweden was actively involved in producing and advancing a colonial agenda and that the relatively short-lived colonial venture in America had long-term effects and consequences.<br/><br/>Taking the point of departure in a critical review of the scholarship on New Sweden, this article examines the common image of the colony and identifies several blind spots and points of convergence between New Sweden and Sweden’s other colonial projects. Informed by postcolonial approaches the article examines colonial rhetoric and logic underlying the interactions between the Swedes and the Native Americans and foregrounds practices of the Swedish community in America. It explores the connections between Sweden and the Swedish community in America throughout the 17th and 18th century and the impact of these connections (and this colonial venture) in Sweden and America. The article also draws attention to the close relations and parallels between the colonial practice in New Sweden and Sápmi. This analysis sheds new light on the colony and its role in Sweden and America in the 17th as well as in the 20th century. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/55693b35-dcd2-4fa0-96c9-1d863f0480bb eScholarship University of California 2016 eng History 1940-0764 10.5070/T871030644 http://dx.doi.org/10.5070/T871030644 7 1 23 yes 55693b35-dcd2-4fa0-96c9-1d863f0480bb 2023-09-12T20:36:39+02:00 2025-04-04T13:55:22+02:00 2023-09-12T20:36:39+02:00 5 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml encyclopaedia entry published 1 Ulf Zander author ff5635b4-1d70-425c-b5d6-13ff21703ce8 History v1000057 department Department of History v1000054 department Sweden succeeded in remaining a non-combatant through the First World War. However, the conflict affected the nation in many ways, for example in terms of film production and film consumption. The Swedish film industry was growing rapidly already before the outbreak of the First World War. The number of cinemas increased every year. It is estimated that there were 700 cinemas in Sweden in 1919, twice the amount compared to 1914. Probably because Sweden did not take an active part in the war, it was, with a few noteworthy exceptions, rare that films produced in Sweden commented on the ongoing conflict. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/67383612-c98d-4a40-8a35-9fe88f6023dc Freie Universität Berlin 2019-02-27 eng Film First World War Sweden History Film Studies 10.15463/ie1418.11343 http://dx.doi.org/10.15463/ie1418.11343 7 https://portal.research.lu.se/files/61100577/1914_1918_Online_filmcinema_sweden_2019_02_27.pdf application/pdf Uppslagsord om svensk film under första världskriget. 67383612-c98d-4a40-8a35-9fe88f6023dc 2019-02-28T21:41:06+01:00 2025-04-04T14:26:55+02:00 2019-02-28T21:41:06+01:00 6 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 7 Anna Weibull Wärnberg author Johanna Brännström author Olof Elvstam author 26fceba5-cfb7-4d80-807d-5824da9e0ec0 Magnus Gisslén author Fredrik Månsson author 139a5de7-3c59-486e-a70b-6dd059cf37e7 Anders Sönnerborg author Maarten AA van de Klundert author Clinical infection medicine v1001111 department Department of Translational Medicine v1000562 department EpiHealth: Epidemiology for Health v1001239 department Clinical infection medicine research group <p>BackgroundThe global distribution of HIV-1 subtypes is evolving, which is reflected in the Swedish HIV cohort. The subtype HIV-1A6, which may be prone to developing resistance to cabotegravir, is the most common subtype in Ukraine.AimWe aimed to examine trends in HIV-1 subtype distribution in Sweden, with a special focus on HIV-1A6, and to describe the virology, demography and treatment of Ukrainian people living with HIV (PLWH) who migrated to Sweden in 2022.MethodsData about PLWH in Sweden are included in a national database (InfCareHIV). We used the online tool COMET to establish HIV-1 subtypes and the Stanford database to define drug resistance mutations. We investigated the relation between virological characteristics and demographic data.ResultsThe early epidemic was predominated by HIV-1 subtype B infections in people born in Sweden. After 1990, the majority of new PLWH in Sweden were PLWH migrating to Sweden, resulting in an increasingly diverse epidemic. In 2022, HIV-1A6 had become the sixth most common subtype in Sweden and 98 of the 431 new PLWH that were registered in Sweden came from Ukraine. We detected HIV RNA in plasma of 32 Ukrainian patients (34%), of whom 17 were previously undiagnosed, 10 had interrupted therapy and five were previously diagnosed but not treated. We found HIV-1A6 in 23 of 24 sequenced patients.ConclusionThe molecular HIV epidemiology in Sweden continues to diversify and PLWH unaware of their HIV status and predominance of HIV-1A6 should be considered when arranging care directed at PLWH from Ukraine.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/c80b304d-d78e-4408-910d-4a8344cc5f94 European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) 2023-11 eng Health Sciences 1560-7917 38037731 85178514892 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.48.2300224 http://dx.doi.org/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.48.2300224 28 48 13 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85178514892 c80b304d-d78e-4408-910d-4a8344cc5f94 2023-12-02T08:51:38+01:00 2026-05-26T22:14:30+02:00 2023-12-02T08:51:38+01:00 7 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 5 Ramón Vélez author Ingemar Turesson author 07ed66c6-1df7-4ae4-84f1-72dc73ddbc96 Ola Landgren author Sigurdur Y Kristinsson author Jack Cuzick author The increased incidence of multiple myeloma (MM) across China and East Asia stimulated us to examine the current rates in Great Britain, where rates increased dramatically in the second half of the 20th century. However, rates have been stable and high during this period in Malmö, Sweden, where there is a keen interest in MM. We thus assessed recent changes in MM incidence in Great Britain, Sweden overall, and Malmö, Sweden, and examined how these changes might explain recent reports of increased MM incidence across Asia. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/51d15fba-f5c7-4a3a-8d4b-b3ae97e3a2b4 BMJ Publishing Group 2016 eng Hematology http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26801465?dopt=Abstract yes 2044-6055 8574048 26801465 84960194083 000369993900103 26801465 10.1136/bmjopen-2015-009584 http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2015-009584 6 009584 009584 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84960194083 yes 51d15fba-f5c7-4a3a-8d4b-b3ae97e3a2b4 2016-04-04T09:38:20+02:00 2025-10-14T09:51:29+02:00 2016-04-04T09:38:20+02:00 8 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml working paper published 2 Jakob Bergman author a6eaec29-1ebc-4056-98ea-e8672711f6b2 Björn Holmquist author 7c1ce2c2-e129-4a76-a42b-0a0de216917a Department of Statistics v1000030 department In August 2015 a Swedish newspaper claimed that the Sweden Democrats were the largest political party in Sweden based on the results of single poll. We ask ourselves if this is a correct conclusion, considering the fact that the three largest parties in the poll were of roughly the same size. We analyse the parameter space and identify the subspace where the Sweden Democrats are the largest party. Using this we construct a maximum likelihood ratio test and derive its distribution under the null hypothesis. We finally apply our test to the data and obtaining a p-value between 0.09 and 0.14 are able to refute the claim in the newspaper. Based on the available data one cannot draw the conclusion that the Sweden Democrats are the largest party in Sweden. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/2f691e26-08fa-46dd-92e3-fb17d8b9af5d https://portal.research.lu.se/files/5690215/8310046.pdf application/pdf 292814 no Department of Statistics, Lund university 2015 eng Isometric logratio transformation Largest party Maximum likelihood ratio test Political polls Polls Sweden Simplex Probability Theory and Statistics 8310044 12 10 2f691e26-08fa-46dd-92e3-fb17d8b9af5d 2016-04-04T11:04:55+02:00 2025-04-04T13:54:03+02:00 2016-04-04T11:04:55+02:00 9 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 1 Erik Sidenvall author d9f63604-627d-4bb3-acdd-be86cde37482 In this article the present day relationship between church and state in Sweden is discussed. It is here argued that the year 2000 did not mean disestablishment; though formally not a state governed church, the Church of Sweden is still intimately tied to the state in several areas. Even though the Church of Sweden is formally resolved from state control, the Church of Sweden Act still provides the legal framework within which the church operates. The state also supports the Church of Sweden (together with other recognized religious organizations) by levying the church membership fee. Other areas that presuppose a continued link include that of church's responsibility for burial grounds and proprietor of a large part of the nation's cultural heritage. Yet, the public position of organized religion is contested. Religious organizations are increasingly given a place within the field of social welfare. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/a54f540f-7f48-4ca2-a5a8-5866c31a2fa2 Vandenhoeck and Ruprecht GmbH and Co.

Methods: Published estimates on relative risks and Swedish smoking patterns were used to calculate attributable risks for smokers and former smokers. These were applied to cost estimates for smoking-related diseases based on data from public Swedish registers. Results: The estimated total cost for Sweden 2001 was US$ 804 million; COPD and cancer of the lung accounted for 43%. Healthcare cost accounted for 26% of the total cost. The estimated costs per smoker were US$ 3,200 in the USA 1998; 1,600 in Canada 1991; 1,100 in Germany 1996; 600 in Sweden 2001; and 300 in Sweden 1980 (all in 2001 US$ prices). Conclusions: To reduce the prevalence of smoking is an issue worthwhile pursuing in its own right. In order to reduce the cost of smoking, however, policy-makers should also explore and influence the factors that determine the cost per smoker. Sweden seems to have been more successful than comparable countries in pursuing both these objectives. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/93e3de18-d893-46cd-8b7c-60b45f10b4bf SAGE Publications 2007 eng Health Care Costs Germany: epidemiology Female Efficiency Canada: epidemiology 80 and over Middle Aged Male Health: economics Aged Adult Mortality Morbidity Registries Risk Factors Insurance Humans Smoking: adverse effects Sick Leave Smoking: economics Sweden: epidemiology United States: epidemiology Health Sciences http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=17454923&dopt=Abstract yes 1651-1905 167394 000245641500011 34147111413 10.1080/14034940600858557 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14034940600858557 yes 35 2 187 196 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/34147111413 The information about affiliations in this record was updated in December 2015.

Among males aged 15 to 29 there was a five-fold increase in risk for victimization in lethal and non-lethal gun violence during the 20-year observation period. In a comparative perspective the rate of gun homicide victimization among males 15 to 29 years was higher in Sweden compared to other Western European countries, while the risk for males over age 30 was at an average level. Based on the results of this study we conclude that gun violence among young males in Sweden has been on the rise and is at a high level compared to other Western European countries. The development of gun violence in Sweden can be characterized as endemic, prevalent in both population and socially vulnerable areas.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/fd20d106-9812-4430-9467-a9de9cac0789 Springer 2019 eng Attempted homicide Firearms Guns Homicide Hospitalization Sociology (excluding Social Work, Social Anthropology, Demography and Criminology) Law 0928-1371 85046409495 10.1007/s10610-018-9387-0 http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10610-018-9387-0 25 4 365 378 14 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85046409495 fd20d106-9812-4430-9467-a9de9cac0789 2018-05-15T10:16:55+02:00 2025-10-14T10:29:34+02:00 2018-05-15T10:16:55+02:00 14 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 1 Ardavan Khoshnood author ba8729f2-7140-40f8-b625-9df651c1f8e4 Medicine/Emergency Medicine, Lund v1000435 department <p>Swedish as well as foreign publications have reported a sharp increase in firearm-related violence in Sweden. None of these publications, however, combined official statistics from the Swedish police, the National Council for Crime Prevention (NCCP), and the National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW), to study firearm-related violence in the last 2 years: 2016-2017. The results of this study show that firearm-related violence in Sweden has greatly increased compared to other Scandinavian countries, especially in recent years. This is probably the reason for the increase in the rate of deadly violence. Further, the increasing number of gangs and criminal networks, as well as the high inflow of illegal firearms to Sweden, is believed to have contributed to the disturbing increase of firearm-related violence in the country. Although Sweden is one of the most democratic and freest countries in the world, and has some of the world's strictest gun laws, the country still faces significant firearm-related violence. This study not only reveals the increasing rate of firearm-related violence in Sweden, but also shows that Sweden is in dire need of additional policies to combat the illegal flow of firearms and to curb gang criminality.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/95374a71-1be0-4f80-b306-95ec9f6c97ec Taylor & Francis 2019-03-19 eng Firearm Firearm-Related Violence Deadly Violence Skjutvapen Dödligt våld Sociology (excluding Social Work, Social Anthropology, Demography and Criminology) Forensic Science 2471-1411 30915421 85063157965 10.1080/20961790.2019.1570665 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/20961790.2019.1570665 4 1 88 93 6 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85063157965 https://portal.research.lu.se/files/62441315/2019_Holding_Sweden_hostage_firearm_related_violence.pdf application/pdf 95374a71-1be0-4f80-b306-95ec9f6c97ec 2019-04-01T01:18:42+02:00 2026-01-09T13:44:37+01:00 2019-04-01T01:18:42+02:00 15 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 1 Martin Nordin author f525d828-c677-42a4-8d29-2373b62cefee Department of Economics v1000029 department The aim of this paper is to find out if the returns to immigrants’ schooling are lower than the returns to natives’ schooling. In addition the paper tries to establish whether immigrants who invest in different amounts of Swedish education also differ in their returns to schooling. For immigrants arriving in Sweden as adults, the returns to schooling are on average one log point lower than for natives. The results show that returns to schooling are considerably higher for immigrants who arrived in Sweden during compulsory school age than for immigrants who arrived in Sweden after compulsory school age. Moreover, immigrants who complete their schooling in Sweden show, in general, much higher returns than immigrants with only foreign schooling. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/bf4db597-8c52-4d3a-b920-f778d88a6248 Wiley-Blackwell 2011 eng Economics 0020-7985 2376743 79959933171 10.1111/j.1468-2435.2009.00570.x http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-2435.2009.00570.x 49 4 144 166 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/79959933171 bf4db597-8c52-4d3a-b920-f778d88a6248 2016-04-01T14:20:59+02:00 2025-10-14T11:59:55+02:00 2016-04-01T14:20:59+02:00 16 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 1 Ov Cristian Norocel author 4b201591-7e3c-4d76-a338-8708852e1a3e <p>The article scrutinises a version of welfare chauvinism taking shape in Sweden, by concentrating on the concept of folkhem (the [Swedish] people’s home), and examines how it was expressed in the 2010–2014 parliamentary activity of the Sweden Democrats.

The historical co-optation of the Church by the state, a Lutheran theological heritage, and a trend from “voice to service” within Swedish civil society might discourage stronger political activism by the Church. The following research questions are answered: How does the extent of the advocacy activities of the Church of Sweden, understood as trying to influence politicians and officials and as achieving changes, differ from that of other civil society organizations (CSOs)? What factors explain differences in advocacy activities between the Church of Sweden and the other types of CSOs? How do the types of issues raised by the Church of Sweden through its influence differ from those of other CSOs? The article draws on a large sample (N = 1,150) from a national survey targeting Swedish civil society organizations. It compares the Church of Sweden with other organizations representing diffuse interests (i.e., religious congregations and solidarity organizations) and organizations representing specific interests (i.e., pensioners’ organizations). The analysis shows that the historical position of the Church has granted its organizations strength in terms of resources that make them more active in advocacy than comparable organizations representing diffuse interests. The Church of Sweden of the new millennium hence seems to be able to engage more in politics because of, rather than in spite of, its institutional role. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/b9203b25-5f49-42a2-a421-dccf4612a3ed https://portal.research.lu.se/files/163767410/Linde_Scaramuzzino_2018_NJRS.pdf application/pdf 219403 no Akademika forlag 2018-11-26 eng Church of Sweden Lutheran Theology Advocacy Civil Society Organizations Religious organizations Social Work 0809-7291 85051383992 10.18261/issn.1890-7008-2018-02-03 http://dx.doi.org/10.18261/issn.1890-7008-2018-02-03 yes 31 2 118 138 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85051383992 b9203b25-5f49-42a2-a421-dccf4612a3ed 2018-11-26T21:18:20+01:00 2025-10-14T11:49:27+02:00 2018-11-26T21:18:20+01:00 18 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 3 Carl Johan Wingren author cdc7e2d1-a7e4-4a1f-86a8-85487f1397ab Daniel Agardh author 55b769e6-d959-4abf-8fce-76a3e546ca28 Juan Merlo author aa177c5a-5701-47aa-a347-bb9cbc810896 Social Epidemiology v1000504 department Celiac Disease and Diabetes Unit v1000489 department EXODIAB: Excellence of Diabetes Research in Sweden v1001241 department EpiHealth: Epidemiology for Health v1001239 department Social Epidemiology research group Celiac Disease and Diabetes Unit research group Objectives:<br/><br> The burden of celiac disease (CD) is increasingly recognized as a global problem. However, whether this situation depends on genetics or environmental factors is uncertain. The authors examined these aspects in Sweden, a country in which the risk of CD is generally considered to be high. If environmental factors are relevant, CD risk in second-generation immigrant children should be related to maternal length of stay in Sweden before delivery. <br/><br> <br/><br> Material and methods:<br/><br> Linking the Swedish Medical Birth Registry to other national registries, the authors investigated all singleton children (n = 792,401) born in Sweden between 1987 and 1993. They studied the risk of CD in children before age 6 as a function of the mother's geographical region of birth and length of stay in Sweden before delivery using Cox regression models. <br/><br> <br/><br> Results: <br/><br> In children whose mothers immigrated to Sweden from a country outside of Europe, a maternal length of stay in Sweden of more than 5 years increased the hazard ratio (HR) of CD (1.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-2.81). The authors observed a similar result among children born to mothers from a Nordic country outside of Sweden (HR 1.57, 95% CI 0.89-2.75), but a non-conclusive protective effect was observed in second-generation immigrant children from a non-Nordic European country (HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.39-1.09). <br/><br> <br/><br> Conclusions:<br/><br> The risk of CD among second-generation immigrants seems to be conditioned by maternal length of stay in Sweden before delivery, suggesting that environmental factors contribute to the variation in CD risk observed across populations. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/c3af92a3-18b2-4488-a996-c7c8be34396d Taylor & Francis 2012 eng Gastroenterology and Hepatology http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22827636?dopt=Abstract yes 1502-7708 2966699 000308948400006 22827636 84866604567 22827636 10.3109/00365521.2012.703238 http://dx.doi.org/10.3109/00365521.2012.703238 yes 47 10 1174 1180 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84866604567 c3af92a3-18b2-4488-a996-c7c8be34396d 2016-04-04T09:27:04+02:00 2025-10-14T12:33:40+02:00 2016-04-04T09:27:04+02:00 19 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 16 Erik Lundgren author Macauley Locke author Ethan Romero-Severson author Mira Dimitrijevic author Maria Axelsson author f443ef9f-2898-40d4-ad30-d82a047d7292 Emmi Andersson author Christina Carlander author Johanna Brännström author Hans Norrgren author 2b29c47c-76f5-423d-9c6a-44145314e3f8 Fredrik Mansson author 139a5de7-3c59-486e-a70b-6dd059cf37e7 Olof Elvstam author 26fceba5-cfb7-4d80-807d-5824da9e0ec0 Magnus Gisslén author Lisa Fohlin author Anders Sönnerborg author Jan Albert author Thomas Leitner author Infection Medicine (BMC) v1000442 department Clinical infection medicine v1001111 department EpiHealth: Epidemiology for Health v1001239 department Clinical infection medicine research group <p>BackgroundSweden reached the UNAIDS 90-90-90 target in 2015. It is important to reassess the HIV epidemiological situation due to ever-changing migration patterns, the roll-out of PrEP and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.AimWe aimed to assess the progress towards the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets in Sweden by estimating the proportion of undiagnosed people with HIV (PWHIV) and HIV incidence trends.MethodsWe used routine laboratory data to inform a biomarker model of time since infection. When available, we used previous negative test dates, arrival dates for PWHIV from abroad and transmission modes to inform our incidence model. We also used data collected from the Swedish InfCareHIV register on antiretroviral therapy (ART).ResultsThe yearly incidence of HIV in Sweden decreased after 2014. In part, this was because the fraction of undiagnosed PWHIV had decreased almost twofold since 2006. After 2015, three of four PWHIV in Sweden were diagnosed within 1.9 and 3.2 years after infection among men who have sex with men and in heterosexual groups, respectively. While 80% of new PWHIV in Sweden acquired HIV before immigration, they make up 50% of the current PWHIV in Sweden. By 2022, 96% of all PWHIV in Sweden had been diagnosed, and 99% of them were on ART, with 98% virally suppressed.ConclusionsBy 2022, about half of all PWHIV in Sweden acquired HIV abroad. Using our new biomarker model, we assess that Sweden has reached the UNAIDS goal at 96-99-98.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/94f2de48-ac98-4101-aefa-d05a9359e61f European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) 2024-10 eng Humans Sweden/epidemiology HIV Infections/epidemiology Incidence Male Female HIV-1/drug effects COVID-19/epidemiology Adult SARS-CoV-2 Middle Aged Homosexuality, Male/statistics & numerical data Pandemics Registries Anti-HIV Agents/therapeutic use Young Adult Health Sciences 1560-7917 39421951 85206816258 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.42.2400058 http://dx.doi.org/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.42.2400058 29 42 2400058 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85206816258 94f2de48-ac98-4101-aefa-d05a9359e61f 2024-10-21T09:11:29+02:00 2026-06-03T13:38:21+02:00 2024-10-21T09:11:29+02:00 20 1.1swedensrw.ServerChoicescrsweden
