This assignment delves into the complex landscape of HIV/AIDS within the United Kingdom. It requires a critical examination of epidemiological data on incidence, mortality, and co-infections like HCV, alongside an exploration of prevention strategies targeted at specific populations, particularly men who have sex with men (MSM). The analysis should incorporate recent trends, research findings, and the impact of interventions such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and HIV self-testing.
