About one in five people living with HIV in the UK are unaware they have the virus. Some 21,900 people out of 98,400 with HIV do not know they have it, according to 2012 data from Public Health England. Almost 50% of the 6,360 people newly-diagnosed with HIV in 2012 were diagnosed at a late stage. New HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men reached an all-time high, with 3,250 cases in 2012. Some 45% of new cases of HIV were among heterosexuals, accounting for 2,880 cases. Gay men remain the group most affected by HIV, followed by black African men and women.
