HIV in Scotland: Do you know the facts? - BBC News: "There is no comparison between 20th and 21st Century HIV, according to a leading public health body in Scotland.

Modern drug treatment regimens mean that HIV positive people have a normal life expectancy. An HIV positive person may, in fact, live longer because they require regular health checks.

Someone receiving HIV treatment can get to a stage where they cannot transmit the virus to a negative partner, even through unprotected sex.

However, the stigma which cloaks HIV still prevents people from getting regular sexual health tests and seeking treatment following a positive diagnosis.

There are also vulnerable social groups in Scotland who are disproportionately affected by HIV."
