There are 83 personnel serving in the British military who are HIV positive, new data from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) suggests.
It has been 12 months since the automatic ban on personnel with the virus serving in the Armed Forces was lifted.
The number disclosed by the MOD was provided with little context, but it is known that the majority of these individuals were already serving before the ban ended, and the Armed Forces were aware of their HIV status.
