The coronavirus outbreak could put an end to the transmission of HIV in the UK, according to research conducted by a sexual health charity.
On Thursday, a survey of 800 people in the UK was published by HIV charity the Terrence Higgins Trust and sexual health clinic 56 Dean Street.
It found that one in eight (84 per cent) of Britons had abstained from sex with anyone outside of their household.
On Monday, the government introduced new laws in England that made it illegal for couples who live in different homes to have sex indoors and stay overnight.
The Health Protection Regulations previously banned people leaving home without “reasonable excuse”, but the provision has been replaced by stringent curbs on where people can sleep and gather together.
