Increasing Awareness of HIV and Testing
Written on Friday, June 16, 2023
In the past, some people have incorrectly assumed that HIV is a disease that only affects gay men. This is not the case, in 2019 of the 34,800 estimated new HIV infections in the United States, 22% were from people who reported heterosexual contact1. While in the United Kingdom, nearly half of all new HIV diagnoses were in heterosexuals (49%) in England in 2020, compared to 45% in gay and bisexual men2.
Here we provided information on different topics around HIV and HIV testing which you can use to help increase your own awareness of these issues.
