Survey of Prevalent HIV Infections Diagnosed (SOPHID), 2001-05. SOPHID collects residential and epidemiological information on individuals accessing HIV care within a calendar year in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. All figures exclude infants born to HIV-infected women in the survey year but who were uninfected or whose infection status was indeterminate. At least 98 per cent. of indeterminate infants will subsequently be confirmed as uninfected.
