CDC finally updates estimated annual HIV cases in the USA
Posted by Dr. Bright on August 2, 2008 at 02:07 PM
At least 56,000 people become infected with the AIDS virus every year in the United States,40 percent more than previous estimates, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC stressed that actual infection rates have not risen but said better methods of measuring new diagnosed infections and then extrapolating this to the general population led to the fresh estimates. "CDC's first estimates from this system reveal that the HIV epidemic is (and has been) worse than previously known. Results indicate that approximately 56,300 new HIV infections occurred in the United States in 2006," the CDC said in a statement.

I thought it was an interesting approach to conceptualize black America as a country for comparison to other parts of the world.

Good afternoon Peter.
First, congratulations on your award from the NASW! You certainly have done some great things for the people in this community and deserve this accolade, and many more.
On a more self centered note, I will be attending your in service training at Lee Mental Health on Monday. I’ve attended your training before, and found it to be very informative, and I always learn something new, even after attending a lot of sessions.
I am an LCSW, and coming to the critical time to renew my license. Do you offer CEU’s from your training? I know there are a number of hoops to jump through to get a provider number, but if you do, it would be a great help to me. If not, I guess I won’t become “too smart” if I take additional training. I have the hours I need, but can’t put my finger on the paper, so “if it ain’t wrote, it didn’t happen”.
Thanks, Dan Engalnd

Hi guys. Never does the human soul appear so strong and noble as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury. Help me! Looking for sites on: Frontier airlines tickets and flight discounts from denver colorado, savings on frontier air line travel reservations flights and airline tickets for frontier.. I found only this - Airline Tickets. Below is a web version of the email newsletter that was. Cheap airline tickets to any destination, international flights, business first class flights, cheap luxury vacation travel packages. Waiting for a reply :-(, Fala from Sudan.

The best way to avoid getting infected by HIV is to educate youth. http://reliablenetworks.co.uk

Dr. Bright,
Another “revelation”, I recently read a report by the Ford Foundation and Elton John AIDS Foundation that said “more black Americans are living with HIV/AIDS than the infected populations in Botswana, Ethiopia, Guyana, Haiti, Namibia, Rwanda or Vietnam--all countries that receive support from the U.S. government’s anti-AIDS program PEPFAR. However, whereas federal funding for PEPFAR has increased dramatically, funding for domestic HIV prevention programs has remained virtually flat.”
I thought it was an interesting approach to conceptualize black America as a country for comparison to other parts of the world.
