Public Health England routinely collects data on people accessing HIV care in the United Kingdom. The clinical outcomes of people in HIV care, including anti-retroviral treatment uptake and viral suppression are summarised in the annual HIV surveillance data tables, available to view at the following link:

Data are presented by key variables including gender, age, ethnicity, country of birth, region of residence and route of probable HIV exposure, to explore outcomes across different population groups.
