"People who acquired their infection through heterosexual contact (hereafter referred to as "heterosexuals") accounted for 2,490 (45%) of new HIV diagnoses in the UK in 2013 (after adjusting for missing risk information), a decline of 13% compared to 2,780 cases in 2012.
In 2013, 1,070 heterosexual men were newly diagnosed with HIV, 350 fewer than the number of new diagnoses reported among heterosexual women (1,420). However, the decline in heterosexual cases over the past decade was substantially steeper among women than men (3,100 to 1,420 and 1,780 to 1,070 respectively)."
