from latest available report.
"The proportion of people diagnosed late has declined over the past decade from 58% (3,150) in 2003 to 47% (2,990) in 2012. Among MSM, the proportion of late diagnoses reduced from 42% to 34%, but the number of late diagnoses rose from 900 to 1,100. Among heterosexuals, the proportion diagnosed late reduced from 65% to 58% with the absolute number halving from 3,180 to 1,620.
Almost half of MSM newly diagnosed with HIV between 2010 and 2012 had their diagnosis made at their first HIV test at that sexual health clinic, an indicator that many MSM who require an HIV test have yet to seek one."
