As reported by BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) "After years of steady rates, some health experts said they are concerned the numbers of HIV infections are on the rise in the United States. â€
With HIV individual infections at 2.4 million, America represents the third largest region with HIV infections. Initially it was among homosexual men and injecting drug users but now it is increasing among poor and less educated parts of the population. Over the last three years there has been a rise by an estimated 17% among the number of American gay and bisexual men diagnosed with HIV thus showing that fewer guys have safer sex.
In 2001 the rate of HIV diagnosis was 22.8 per 100,000 people, compared to 20.7 per 100,000 people in 2004.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the rates of HIV/AIDS stayed steady for the years 2000 to 2003, but sharp radical disparities remain, according to an analysis of data from 32 states. The rate of HIV/AIDS diagnosis among African-American women in 2003 was more than 18 times higher than among white women. Over the past four years the rate of HIV diagnoses has been dropping among blacks, it has dropped about 5 percent each year between 201 and 2004, but remains high among the whites. Among the diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in the 32 states two third percent of diagnoses were among whites.
