<p>Data on new HIV infections in the United Kingdom are routinely collected through
both laboratory submissions and clinic reports as part of ongoing surveillance and
are available for the national population and the population of men who have sex with
men (MSM). The publically available ‘HIV in the United Kingdom: 2014 Report’ contains
data on HIV incidence estimates amongst the national population and MSM. This is available

</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>There are no plans at the present time to commission research
into incidence of HIV in men in a civil partnership or married to a man.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>For the national population, population-based surveillance of acute
hepatitis B in England is based on reconciliation of clinical notifications and laboratory
reports, for which figures are reported in the Health Protection Report annually.

</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Data are not collected specifically on MSM or men in a civil
partnership or married to a man. However, where possible, the most likely route of
transmission is recorded following investigation of each case, such as whether the
exposure risk relates to sexual activity. There are no plans at the present time to
commission new research into infection incidence in MSM, men in a civil partnership
or married to a man.</p><p> </p>
