We've released new data for 2023 this afternoon, revealing a significant increase in HIV diagnoses among heterosexuals in England: • 36% rise in diagnoses among heterosexual men (from 445 in 2022 to 605 in 2023) • 30% increase among heterosexual women (from 602 in 2022 to 780 in 2023) These statistics underscore a critical message: HIV does not discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender. Key actions for individuals: - Get tested regularly - HIV testing is free and confidential - Practice safe sex - consistent condom use remains an effective prevention method - Consider PrEP - Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is available for those at higher risk For organisations: - Promote awareness campaigns in your workplace - Encourage regular testing among employees - Partner with local health authorities to provide on-site testing events Early detection leads to better outcomes. With proper treatment, individuals with HIV can lead long, healthy lives and prevent transmission to partners.
