What is the incidence of HIV in the USA?

摘要

Last week, at a press conference at the UN High-Level Meeting on AIDS in New York, Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said that the number of new HIV infections per year in the USA was closer to 50000 than 40000. He told reporters: "In the United States we still have a significant problem...we have over 750000 AIDS cases...and over half a million deaths. The very disturbing aspect of the situation in the United States is that we have about 40 to 52 000 new i nfections each year." He said that this level of new infections had stayed the same for the past 14 years and that the USA had hit a wall in not being able to get any lower.
