From BBC England today, the above and:

Women aged in their 50s and 60s have been urged to practise safe sex after a rise in new cases of HIV in heterosexual groups.

Remarkably, the BBC Report above seems unaware of this in October 2025, only two months ago, from the London-based European Aids treatment Group:

New data shows Scotland could still be first country to end new HIV cases. New data from Public Health Scotland shows the country has made progress toward ending new HIV cases. In 2024, 116,981 people tested for HIV in Scotland. This means overall testing numbers for HIV have exceeded pre-COVID levels for the first time, after collapsing during the pandemic. However, the number of people tested for HIV in sexual health services, general practice and prisons failed to recover to 2019 rates. There were 125 new diagnoses of HIV in Scotland in 2024, consistent with the 126 recorded in 2023.
