CDC Reports Higher HIV Incidence Estimates
On August 3rd the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released revised estimates of annual new HIV infections in the United States, finding that 56,300 people became newly infected with HIV in 2006. The new number is 40 percent higher than previously cited figure (40,000) and provides more accurate overall estimates and detailed assessments about infections among specific populations.
By the end of 2008 there will be over 4800 Central Texans living with HIV. Please take a moment to learn more about the programs and services AIDS Services of Austin (ASA) provides in the local community and how you can support us in our mission to enhance the health and well-being of individuals in the face of this evolving epidemic.
