UK HIV cases up 20% in one year
Health researchers have found the number of people infected with the HIV virus in the UK increased by 20% last year.
Overall, the number of people living with HIV in the UK went up from 41,700 in 2001 to 49,500 in 2002.
The Health Protection Agency said of these people, a third were still unaware they had the virus.
Their report - Renewing The Focus - was published ahead of World Aids Day on December 1 and came as Health Secretary John Reid announced further funding of £15 million to improve sexual health clinics.
According to the HPA, there were 1,850 cases of HIV diagnosed in the UK in 2002 which were likely to have been acquired here.
The number of heterosexual cases picked up in the UK increased from 147 in 1998 to 275 in 2002.
Overall, there were 5,711 people newly diagnosed with HIV in the UK in 2002 - expected to rise to 6,400 when all reports for the year are received.
Of these, 3,305 were heterosexually acquired and 1,691 were among gay and bisexual men.
