  • Migrants and Ethnic Minorities make up only 20% of the population of the Netherlands. The other 80% consists of people of Dutch origin. Yet only a quarter of all HIV infections among heterosexuals in The Netherlands are amongst people of Dutch origin.
  • HIV is over-represented amongst migrants and ethnic minorities, especially those who come from Sub-Saharan Africa, and to a lesser extent from Latin America, the Caribbean or South East Asia.

          
  • Infection rates among certain minority ethnic groups have been explained by different studies as being due to engagement in higher risk sexual behaviour, such as having multiple or successive partners or due to not using condoms (correctly) during sex.

  • Sexual contacts with people in the countries of origin might also contribute to the higher HIV prevalence rates.
