The full annual HIV surveillance data in the UK for 2018 from Public Health England (PHE) have now published. This includes results by demographic characteristics and geographical region. [1, 2]<\/strong><\/p>\n

These comprehensive reports continue to show that HIV incidence is now falling across the UK and in most demographics.<\/p>\n

The data expand on the preliminary results published in September 2018 that were previously reported in HTB. [3]<\/p>\n

comment<\/h3>\n

Some community concerns with the way these data were first presented [3] have been considered in the final reports, but these reports still lead with an outdated narrative that is skewed towards condom-use for HIV prevention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lack of any significant discussion about the impact of U=U in the one-sentence section on treatment as prevention makes these reports out of step with one of the most significant changes in public health.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
