Public Health England (PHE) figures come from data received from Public Health Wales (PHW). Figures are based on where people live (i.e. by residence), rather than by centre of care. Evidence is from 2019 for Cardiff, unless otherwise stated. PLHIV refers to people living with HIV and ART refers to people on antiretroviral therapy.

Late diagnosis
62%
Late diagnosis means that you’ve tested positive for HIV after the virus has already started to damage your immune system. We are still seeing more people in Cardiff & Vale testing late for HIV – 62% in Cardiff compared to the 42% average of the UK (FTC Data Report November 2019).
