More HIV cases were diagnosed among people born in Africa than the UK last year, official figures show.
Data from the UK Health Security Agency shows 3,805 people were diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in England in 2022.
Some 700 were born in Britain, a record low. Meanwhile, 1,179 were born in Africa — the highest since 2014.
It reverses a decade-long trend of the highest number of HIV cases being detected among people born in the UK.
The UKHSA data shows HIV diagnoses increased by 22 per cent — from 3,118 in 2021 to 3,805 in 2022.

It means, proportionately, 18 per cent of HIV cases were among those born in Britain.
Three in 10 cases were among those born in Africa (31 per cent), while around a tenth were spotted in people born in Europe (10 per cent) and Asia (9 per cent).
The birth location was unknown for a quarter of cases.
The remainder of the cases were from Latin America and the Caribbean (6 per cent), North America (0.7 per cent) and Oceania (0.2 per cent).
Most of the rise in HIV diagnoses is ‘attributable to people previously diagnosed abroad’, which were likely acquired abroad and ‘do not reflect a rise in transmission in England’, according to the UKHSA.
