This is done to remove the possibility of deductive disclosure of an individual's identity. Notes: 1. Cumulative data are as reported by the end of June 2007. Numbers will rise as further reports are received (particularly for more recent years). 2. HPA has provided for its north east region, which is coterminous with the Government office for the north east. 3. Data has been provided for the former Tees district health authority, as HPA do not have data for Tees Valley, Middlesbrough, South and East Cleveland. 4. HPA do not provide by data by age because of the risk of deductive exposure of an individual's identity. Data have been provided by age groups. Sub-totals show ranges where one or more cells have a count of under five in order to reduce the risk of deductive disclosure. 5. Data will include many individuals who have been infected with HIV outside the UK, but who have been subsequently diagnosed in the UK. Source: Health Protection Agency (HPA).
