The following tables contain data for diagnosed HIV-infected individuals who attend for HIV-related care at national health service sites. Not all HIV-infected individuals are recommended to start antiretroviral therapy (ART) immediately; British HIV Association (BHIVA) guidelines for this period recommended that individuals with CD4 cell counts of 200 cells per mm3 or less should be on therapy—this threshold has been used in the following tables to calculate the number of individuals who were recommended to be on ART.

Almost all individuals have CD4 cell count reported. 2 Tees Valley data are produced by combining data for Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, Stockton-on-Tees local authorities. 3 HPA does not have data by constituency. Middlesbrough PCT covers the same geographical area as Middlesbrough local authority and Redcar and Cleveland PCT covers the same geographical area as Redcar & Cleveland local authority.
