A public health service is a public health service. It is not selective and neither should it be.

Wrong and wrong.

HIV is higher in straight and white men than any other race & sexuality.

People living with HIV in the UK

The number of people living with HIV in the UK has trebled in the last 10 years
Around 100,000 people are living with HIV in the UK
One in five people with HIV in the UK are undiagnosed
About two thirds of people living with HIV are men and a third are women
Over half of all people living with HIV are aged between 30 and 49, but there are significant numbers both of young people and older people now living with HIV
The latest figures for 2012 show:
6,360 new HIV diagnoses
The two groups most affected remain gay and bisexual men and black African heterosexuals – three-quarters of people diagnosed with HIV in 2012 were among these two groups
3,250 new HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men — the highest number ever recorded in a year
2,880 new HIV diagnoses were acquired heterosexually and over half of them probably acquired their infection in the UK
Just under half of adults were diagnosed with HIV at a late stage of infection (after the point at which treatment should have begun)
All figures from the Health Protection Agency. For more detailed statistics, please visit the NAT website.
