May Show Dramatic Increases in HIV Infections
The Washington Blade is reporting that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is debating when to release what the story called "alarming new statistics" showing that up to 50% more Americans are being infected with HIV annually than the government previously reported. AIDS activist groups familiar with the CDC told the Blade that middle-level officials at the agency have quietly told professional and scientific colleagues that the number of new infections was as high as 58,000 to 63,000 cases in the most recent 12-month period.
