“It shows that there were 239 first-time diagnoses in 2024, which is a rate similar to pre-pandemic levels in Ireland.”
So I guess the decline in social activity during lockdown pushed the numbers down a couple years and then they rose back to a relatively low number that’s on an overall downward trend (despite this spike).

*The majority of diagnoses were amongst people born outside of Ireland, with just 23% of the people who received a diagnosis in 2024 being born in the country*
The article doesn’t really give a clear picture of transmission rates in Ireland, which is really the only thing the government can try control through funding.

Not good. Per capita rate has more than doubled since 2012. Emotions aside, the statistics show this is by and large an imported problem, likely from high risk areas in Africa and South America.

Other countries require medical tests including hiv tests before granting residency. I’m guessing we doing have similar here?
