UK meets UN target in drive to end HIV epidemic

More than 90% of cases are diagnosed, on treatment and virally suppressed, Public Health England says

The UK has hit a significant UN target on the way to ending the HIV epidemic by succeeding in diagnosing and effectively treating more than 90% of people with the virus.

Public Health England said there were an estimated 102,000 people with HIV in the UK last year, of whom 8% - 8,200 - were believed to be unaware of their infection.
