摘要
Is HIV out of control in the UK? An example of analysing patterns of HIV spreading using incidence-to-prevalence ratios driven by increasing prevalence, mostly from imported cases. For men who have sex with men the IPR(t) is around the epidemic threshold, suggesting that spread is not yet under control.
