And decadent woke (ex) Protestant Britain has fewer than unwoke (or rather, less woke) Catholic countries like Ireland, France and Spain.

Research is always good Tooting. Also Ireland is super woke these days. The world is crazy now.

HIV cases hit 10-year high as testing and migration rise after pandemic
Diagnoses had dropped during Covid-19 pandemic after being stable in the preceding years

A total of 644 HIV diagnoses were made by public health doctors in the year up to September, already 60 per cent more than the 401 diagnoses made in all of 2021.

The HPSC points out that diagnoses dropped in 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. “HIV diagnoses in 2022 have increased due to a number of factors including resumption of normal testing services and increased migration to Ireland of people who are living with HIV, including people who have been displaced from Ukraine.

“The majority of HIV diagnoses in Ireland in 2022 are in people who were previously diagnosed HIV positive outside Ireland.”

Preliminary analysis of the 2022 data shows 77 per cent of HIV diagnoses are in people who were previously diagnosed positive outside Ireland. Males account for most cases (65 per cent) but the proportion of females has increased.

Gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men (gbMSM) account for 55 per cent of diagnoses, followed by heterosexual females at 29 per cent.

Among those who region of origin is known, 88 per cent of diagnoses is among migrants.

So a lot of these cases are from people who have come into Ireland. It's an imported issue.

Looking at previous statistics from earlier years this is also the case. Most HIV cases are imported into Ireland. The indigenous population has very low rates.

For example statistics from 2018.

Region of Birth:

Of the diagnoses in 2018, 21% (n=109) were born in Ireland, 71% (n=370) were born abroad and 8% (n=44) did not have information on country of birth.
Of the 370 HIV diagnoses among those born outside Ireland, 34% were born in sub-Saharan Africa and 36% were born in Latin America and the Caribbean, 9% from countries in Central and Eastern Europe and 11% from countries in Western Europe.
76% of heterosexual female cases and heterosexual male cases were born in sub-Saharan Africa.
The majority of MSM were born in Ireland or Latin America and Caribbean.
57% of PWID were born in Ireland and 29% in Central or Eastern Europe.

So as I've said it's an imported issue and Ireland like a lot of European countries is crazy.
