New HIV diagnosis rate per 100,000 population (8187) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the rate of people, aged 15 years or above, newly diagnosed with HIV infection per 100,000 population. Data exclude adults diagnosed in England residing in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland or abroad.
New HIV diagnosis is not synonymous with incidence; however, it provides a timely insight into the onward HIV transmission in a country and consequently allows targeting efforts to reduce transmission. Although majority of HIV diagnoses are made in genitourinary medicine (GUM) services, HIV testing has been introduced in a variety of different medical services and non-medical settings, including the expansion of self-sampling or self-testing.
Figures are from the HIV and AIDS Reporting System (HARS).
Numbers between 1 and 4 within a population less than 10,000 are suppressed. Where this occurs for Isles of Scilly or City of London, then the values are combined with those for Cornwall or Hackney respectively.
