Notes:

1. New HIV diagnoses data includes individuals who have an existing infection as well as those who have a newly acquired infection and therefore the data do not present incidence of infection.

2. Data will include some records of the same individuals which are unmatchable because of differences in the data supplied.

3. Numbers will rise as further reports are received.

4. Per question, ‘homosexual men’ are men who report having had sex with men and ‘homosexual women’ are women who report having had sex with women.
