Black Africans are one of the groups particularly affected by HIV in the UK. The global HIV epidemic continues to have an impact on communities in the UK which originate from countries with current high prevalence, particularly individuals from sub-Saharan Africa where an estimated two thirds of the 33 million people living with HIV worldwide reside. By comparison, black Caribbean populations in the UK experience a higher burden of acute bacterial STIs, such as gonorrhoea, genital chlamydial infection and syphilis and a high, but lower burden of HIV. |
