As the Deputy may be aware, the HSE - Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) is Ireland's specialist agency for the surveillance of communicable diseases. The HPSC published the 2016 HIV report on 3 October and can be found on their website: www.hpsc.ie/a-z/hivstis/hivandaids/hivdataandreports/.

I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply directly to the Deputy providing figures for the number of HIV infections detected from 2011 to date.
