Too many people lack education about HIV and Aids, David Cameron has said, after figures suggested that a record number of people in the UK are living with HIV.
The prime minister said almost 25,000 people in the UK who have the human immunodeficiency virus were not aware they had been infected.
These people are not benefiting from treatment and are increasing the risk of passing the virus on, he said.
Cameron said World Aids Day should be used to "spread the message" about education, testing and early diagnosis.
