evidence: Speaking of a new drug that would help prevent HIV, Northern Ireland Assembly Health chair Paula Bradley of the DUP stated: "41% of those living with HIV in Northern Ireland are heterosexual". This is based on statistics published in the annual HIV Surveillance Report, which show that "of those receiving care, (331/809) acquired their infection through heterosexual contact." It also states that out of the 809 people currently receiving treatment, 90% contracted the disease through sexual contact. [...] Data from Ireland does not reveal how many people are living with HIV. However, it shows a very similar proportion of new HIV infections through male to male contact. In 2014, 48.5% of new diagnoses were a result of homosexual activity, while 33.2% were from heterosexual activity. This is a drop from 50% in 2004. [...] It is also important to note that 7% of those living with HIV in Northern Ireland did not get infected through sex at all, but other activities such as drug use. To date, there have been 22 cases of transmission through intravenous drug use, and another 53 through undetermined causes.
