Up to 1996, 592 men had been reported as having homosexually acquired HIV infection in Norway (population 4.3 million). 295 of these had developed AIDS and 242 had died from AIDS. Although HIV testing is common practice among homosexual men in Norway, we estimate that 100-200 HIV infected homosexual men have not been diagnosed as yet. HIV spread rapidly among homosexuals in Norway in the early 1980s. The annual incidence peaked in 1985, at 70-100 cases, and has since remained at 40-50. In our opinion the initial decrease in incidence was due mainly to dissemination of information by the gay community itself, led by pioneering gay health workers. The stable incidence during the last decade is disappointing, however, considering the vast resources used for prevention. A major challenge in HIV prevention in Norway towards the year 2000 is to bring down the incidence among homosexual men.
截至1996年，挪威（人口430万）已有592名男性被报告通过同性恋感染了艾滋病毒。其中295人已发展为艾滋病患者，242人死于艾滋病。尽管在挪威同性恋男性中进行艾滋病毒检测是常见做法，但我们估计仍有100至200名感染艾滋病毒的同性恋男性尚未被诊断出来。20世纪80年代初，艾滋病毒在挪威同性恋群体中迅速传播。年发病率在1985年达到峰值，为70至100例，此后一直维持在40至50例。我们认为，发病率最初的下降主要归功于同性恋群体自身在先锋同性恋健康工作者的带领下传播信息。然而，考虑到用于预防的大量资源，过去十年发病率稳定令人失望。挪威在2000年之前预防艾滋病毒的一项重大挑战是降低同性恋男性中的发病率。
