Deborah Gold, chief executive, National AIDS Trust, said: “Today’s announcement by Public Health England that 103,700 people are now living with HIV in the UK is yet more proof that HIV is a growing issue. This includes 6,000 people were diagnosed last year, as well as 17% (18,100) of people who have HIV but don’t know it yet. They may not find out until they have already shortened their lifespan and are left with life-long ill health.
