<p>Decisions on funding and access to social care support services for people with
HIV are made by local authorities. The Care Act 2014 sets out the legal framework
for social care in England, and this applies to all adults with support needs including
those living with HIV.</p><p> </p><p>Diagnosed early most people with access to HIV
treatment can expect a near normal life expectancy. Public Health England monitors
the results of individuals receiving NHS HIV treatment. In 2014, 91% of people attending
for care were receiving antiretroviral (ARV) treatment of which 95% were virally suppressed
and very unlikely to be infectious to others. The United Kingdom is already ahead
in meeting two of the three ambitious UNAIDS 90/90/90 global goals of 90% of people
with HIV being diagnosed, 90% on ARV treatment and 90% viral suppression for those
on ARV treatment by 2020.</p>
