HIV: the story in 2014• People living with HIV can expect a near normal life expectancy and very
good health outcomes if diagnosed in early stage of infection
• As a result of 30 years of prevention efforts, HIV in the UK remains relatively uncommon with an overall prevalence of 1.5 per 1,000 population (1.0 in women and 2.1 in men).
• An estimated 98,400 (93,500-104,300) people were living with HIV by the end of 2012
• Late diagnoses and high undiagnosed infections remain the biggest challenge
• Around 21,900 (22% [18%-27%]) of persons with HIV remain unaware of their infection.
• Of the 6360 persons diagnosed for the first time in 2012, 47% were diagnosed late

3 HIV in the United Kingdom: 2013
• No one should die of AIDS in the UK. Yet 390 persons died of AIDS in 2012
• Despite cont. declines, death rates among persons with HIV are 3 X that of general population

4 HIV in the United Kingdom: 2013
• A total of 77,610 people (770 children and 76,840 adults) received HIV
care in 2012• 1 in 4 adults living with diagnosed HIV are aged over 50 years. • 97% linked to HIV care within 3 months of diagnosis with no differences by
age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, sex and area of residence. (195 persons were NOT)
• 95% of the 76,840 diagnosed adults are retained in care annually (3,850 were NOT)
• 89% receive antiretroviral therapy (8,500 were NOT), 92% of those with a CD4 <350
• 95% of persons on treatment achieve a VL<200copies/ml (3,400 did NOT)• In England, key clinical indicators are monitored locally through the HIV
Clinical Dashboard to maintain high standards of HIV care.

Black Africans
• Black-Africans are the second largest group affected by HIV with 38 per 1,000 living with the infection (26 in men and 51 in women).
• 23% of the 31,800 (29,700-34,600) black-Africans living with HIV, remained unaware of their infection.
• Despite an overall decline over the past five years, an estimated 1,000 black-Africans diagnosed annually probably acquired HIV in the UK.
• High rates of late diagnoses
• Testing rates remain too low. Approximately 100,000 HIV tests (40,000 in STI clinics, 30,000 antenatal clinics and 30,000 in primary and secondary care settings)

MSM• MSM remain the group most affected by HIV with 47 per 1,000 living with
the infection (18% unaware= 8,000 men).
• An estimated 2,400 (1,600-4,100) MSM acquire HIV infection each year.
• New diagnoses continued to rise and reached an all time high of 3,250 in 2012. This reflects both an increase in HIV testing and on-going transmission.
• Compounded by high rates of STIs and ongoing risk of HCV
• Circumstantial evidence of an association between drug use and elevated STIs (other than HIV)
• HIV positive men have higher rates of risky behaviour and other STIs.

HIV the story in 2014• New set of biomedical prevention tool available with focus on TasP & Prep
• TasP alone is unlikely to be sufficient to reduce HIV transmission in the UK since it is estimated that two-thirds of HIV positive people with detectable viral loads are unaware of their infection.
• Earlier treatment must be combined with a substantial increase in the frequency of HIV testing among groups most affected.

20 HIV in the United Kingdom: 2013
• Late diagnosis has declined over the past decade but remains high in 2012 (47% overall, 34% in MSM and 58% in heterosexuals)
• 64 of 326 (20%) local authorities across England had a prevalence of diagnosed HIV infection of ≥2 per 1,000 population (aged 15-59 years), the threshold for expanded testing (BHIVA 2008 & NICE 2010 guidelines)
• In 2014, there is little evidence of expanded HIV testing taking place in high prevalence areas

HIV testing in STI clinics
• Testing rates have improved in STI clinics with 900,000 tests in 2012
• But remain too low in higher risk groups: 70,000 among MSM and 40,000 in black Africans
• 49% of MSM were diagnosed at their first HIV test at that STI clinic

Scaling HIV testing
• HIV testing is a gateway for more tailored approach, and access to, behavioral and biomedical interventions
• Key challenge will be optimising HIV testing programmes• Increase HIV testing frequency by providing acceptable options• Test whose at high risk, but currently not testing• Use new testing options to leverage networks• Use internet-based technologies• Integrate HIV testing into routine care in range of health care settings

Strategy for MSMPromote sexual health across the lifecourse
• Tackling homophobia and bullying • Increase use of high-quality, coordinated educational, clinical,
and other preventive services• Increase knowledge, communication, and respectful attitudes
regarding sexual health• Promoting opportunities to discuss role of pleasure,
satisfaction and ability to have the best sex with the least harm• Increase healthy, responsible, and respectful sexual
behaviors and relationships• Decrease adverse health outcomes, including HIV/STDs, viral
hepatitis, and sexual violence

Enhancing MSM HIV Prevention Comprehensive Clinical Care
• Work with providers to address stigma, discrimination, homophobia and provide comprehensive care• culturally competent health care that addresses health needs• As major sources of information and vital services, health
providers play a key role, and must be trained to provide supportive, non-judgmental care
• Well-trained clinicians who understand realities and contexts• Use provider engagement can to enable healthier lifestyles

Conclusions• HIV is here to stay but no one should die of AIDS
• We have a unique opportunity to refocus prevention and testing efforts
• Re-investing a small amount of the savings from switch to generics into prevention and testing strategies will within a few years prevent thousands of HIV infections and save lives
