HC Deb 12 March 1990 vol 169 cc48-9W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many service men and women were identified as being HIV positive for each of the forces in 1989; what action was followed after diagnosis; whether any representations have subsequently been received concerning the military authorities' actions in these cases; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

It is not the practice to discuss individual medical cases. However, one member of the services was identified as HIV positive in 1989. There were no representations concerning this case.
