HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report : Cases of HIV Infection and AIDS in the United States (2003)

Provides critical info. on the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This ed. has been changed after careful planning & consulting with numerous stakeholders, incl. health dep't. surveillance coordinators & other personnel who coordinate AIDS treatment & care programs. Since the use of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) in the U.S. became widespread during 1996, trends in AIDS incidence have become less reflective of underlying trends in HIV transmission. To better monitor the patterns of HIV diagnoses, most states have implemented HIV surveillance. From 2000-2003, the total no. of new cases of HIV/AIDS in the 33 areas increased slightly. HIV/AIDS prevalence (i.e., the no. of persons living with HIV/AIDS) also increased during this time.Janssen, Robert S. is the author of 'HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report : Cases of HIV Infection and AIDS in the United States (2003)', published 2005 under ISBN 9780756746933 and ISBN 0756746930.
