Explanatory Notes
Data for this report were extracted from CIDR on 8th March 2017 and
were correct at the time of publication.
It is important to note that
- the HIV surveillance system captures new diagnoses of HIV infection
and therefore does not measure incidence.
- persons newly diagnosed in Ireland may have been previously
diagnosed with HIV in another country and are included in
surveillance figures at first confirmatory test in Ireland.
- data are presented by date of notification on CIDR (Computerised
Infectious Disease Reporting) system
