increased sharply between 2002 and 2003.
The number of uncomplicated cases of Chlamydia and gonorrhoea seen at Conifer
House during 2002-2003 and the number of cases of HIV in Hull are given in Table 350.

It is difficult to obtain up-to-date information on STIs, and as far as we are aware, the
information in Table 350 has not been updated.
Information is available in the World Class Commissioning datapacks provided by the
Information Centre on HIV prevalence. The datapacks were published in September
2009 (Information Centre for Health and Social Care 2009).
The HIV figures quoted in the datapacks for Hull are less than one per 100,000
population. This is clearly incorrect if the total numbers in Hull were approximately 100
for 2002-2003, even if the information is supposed to be incidence (number of new
cases), it would appear to be incorrect as according to the Health Protection Agency, 16
male and 16 female new cases were diagnosed during 2007 (so incidence would be
around 12 per 100,000 for 2007). Therefore, it is not clear what information is being
presented on HIV within the datapacks. The local Health Protection Agency provided
information on the number of patients by year of first HIV/AIDS positive result by gender
for Hull for the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (see www.jsnaonline.org/). Using the
information provided by the local Health Protection Agency, the number of HIV/AIDS
positive patients by year of diagnosis is given in Table 351. Some categories have
been combined due to the small numbers and confidentiality reasons. The diagnosed
prevalence of HIV/AIDS among Hull residents is approximately 60 per 100,000
population. A further 10 people who were diagnosed between 2003-2007 and have
since died are not included Table 351.
