Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, released the latest estimates of new HIV infections (HIV incidence) in the United States. The estimates indicate that HIV remains a serious health problem, with an estimated 47,500 people becoming newly infected with the virus in the US in 2010. The data are included in a new CDC report, Estimated HIV Incidence among Adults and Adolescents in the United States, 2007–2010, which includes new HIV incidence estimates for 2010 and updates previously published estimates for 2007 through 2009.
HIV incidence has remained relatively stable at about 50,000 infections per year over the last decade. According to the new analysis, there were 53,200 infections in 2007; 47,500 in 2008; 45,000 in 2009; and 47,500 in 2010. Certain groups, including African Americans, Latinos and gay and bisexual men of all races/ethnicities, continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV.
The report also finds two noteworthy trends among heavily affected populations: early signs of an encouraging decrease in new HIV infections among black women when comparing 2008 and 2010, and a troubling and continuing increase in new infections among young gay and bisexual men comparing the same time periods.
