New HIV cases in Australia at 20-year high

SYDNEY: (AFP) - The number of new HIV cases in Australia remains at the highest level in 20 years, according to data Thursday which reveals many people are not being detected early enough.

"These are the highest levels we've had in 20 years," the institute's associate professor David Wilson said.
While the rates for the past two years have been stable, the 2013 figure represents a 70 percent rise since 1999, when diagnoses were at their lowest.
