The Netherlands
The Netherlands has a population of nearly 18 million (2024). By the end of 2022 around 24400 of them were people living with HIV. (PLHIV) 22000 of them were receiving HIV medical care. An estimated 1400 people don’t know yet that they are infected with HIV. 62% of the infected population are gay men (nearly 14.000) 19% are women. (4,120)
The number of new HIV diagnoses dropped from nearly 1200 in 2010 to 393 in 2022. The estimated number of HIV infections in 2022 was even lower: 140.
The overall number of infected children is tiny and 95% get ART. The country’s program to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV is a success averting virtually all infant cases.
The vast majority of HIV in the Netherlands is found among men who have sex with men (MSM). HIV infection is concentrated in the large cities. In 2022 there were 21 people who died of AIDS. Combating HIV/AIDS is a clearly stated aim of Dutch domestic and foreign policy which it supports wholeheartedly.

The Time There-After
The Netherlands
The Time There-After is a documentary by Willem Aerts and Erwin Kokkelkoren
We meet three men and two women who tell their life stories. Together the five stories give a clear picture of how the impact of HIV differs from person to person. A life with HIV cannot be generalized. Never. People are different, the date of infection differs and we all have our own unique backgrounds. Being infected in the 80’s, like Erwin and Marjolein, means you have to deal with more physical problems than those more recently infected like Celicia and Pablo. For this reason we have focused on these 5 courageous people’s stories and not the virus.
The Time There-After shows the drama of the 80’s and the 90’s, the enormous progress we made, life with HIV in 2013, and the dreams and tasks we have for tomorrow.
In the movie we meet Marjolein, Erwin, Celicia, Alexander and Pablo.
