Abstract

Changes in risk behaviour among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Netherlands were estimated by fitting a mathematical model to annual HIV and AIDS diagnoses in the period 1980-2009 and, independently, from rates of unprotected anal intercourse in a prospective cohort study in Amsterdam. The agreement between the two approaches was very good, con-firming that in terms of incidence, increasing risk behaviour between MSM is offsetting benefits offered by enhanced testing and treatment
