The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department are taking to tackle changes in rates of HIV diagnoses among heterosexual men and women.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

HIV is a priority for the Government, and we have commissioned a new HIV Action Plan for 2025 to 2030, to achieve no new HIV transmissions within England by 2030, which we aim to publish in summer 2025.

The new action plan will include a focus on ensuring equitable access to HIV prevention programmes, and scaling up HIV testing with a particular focus on heterosexual men and women.
