CDC Releases New Surveillance Data for HIV/AIDS in the US
April 4, 2008
Last week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its surveillance data concerning HIV/AIDS rates in the United States. The following fact sheets are available for download, including:
- Dear Colleague Letter: 2006 HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report
- HIV/AIDS Fact Sheet: HIV/AIDS in the United States
- HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report: Cases of HIV Infection and AIDS in the United States and Dependent Areas, 2006
The new data include estimates of the number of new AIDS cases, the cumulative number of AIDS cases, the number of people living with AIDS, the number of AIDS deaths, and the AIDS case rate (the number of reported cases in the year per 100,000 population). The fact sheet also provides an historical overview of the epidemic and describes how HIV/AIDS has affected racial and ethnic minorities, women, young people, and men who have sex with men.
