The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) publishes overall HIV prevalence and HIV testing data annually in the HIV Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and the HIV Official Statistics, available on the GOV.UK website.

Our recently published 2025 report Understanding HIV testing contains further information on people in prison. The report is also available on the GOV.UK website.
