New CDC Numbers 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.

Government Textbook Under Fire After Student Raises Concerns
Talk about a civics lesson: A high school senior has raised questions about political bias in a popular textbook on U.S. government, and legal scholars and top scientists say the teen's criticism is well-founded. They say American Government, by conservatives James Wilson and John Dilulio, presents a skewed view of topics from global warming to separation of church and state to gay rights. The publisher now says it will review the book, as will the College Board, which oversees college-level Advanced Placement courses used in high schools. Student Matthew LaClair of Kearny, N.J., recently brought his concerns to the attention of the Center for Inquiry, an Amherst, N.Y., think tank that promotes science and which has issued a scathing report about the textbook.

Groups Say U.S. HIV Rate Being Revised Upward, CDC Still Silent

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the numbers are not final and won't be released until early next year.
