UK Sees Highest Gay And Bi HIV Infection Spike Ever | A new study finds that in the United Kingdom, more gay and bi men were diagnosed with HIV in 2011 than in any year since record-keeping began. It is the first time that the number has surpassed heterosexual diagnoses since 1999. According to the Health Protection Agency, 3,010 gay and bi men tested positive in 2011, and over a fifth of them were also diagnosed with an acute STI like chlamydia and gonorrhea. The National AIDS Trust saw a “worryingly” high proportion of new infections taking place over the past six months.
