The UK’s HIV rights charity has said the government aren't doing enough to end the virus.
National AIDS Trust’s statement comes after the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) released data which showed the impact COVID had on HIV progress.
The charity, which works to “stop HIV from standing in the way of health, dignity and equality”, said there has been “no improvement” in the number of heterosexual men being offered an HIV test with 248,355 heterosexual men being tested in 2021 compared to 419,501 in 2019. The same issue can be found with heterosexual and bisexual women with 489,727 being tested in 2021 and 628,607 being tested in 2019.
