Without question, these three items are vitally important to the roughly 50,000 new cases of HIV occurring in America annually. I might point out this 50,000 number has been a steady incidence rate since about 1987.
Nonetheless, I don’t seem to hear much or anything about how we addressing a subgroup of the 1.2 million Americans already living with HIV. And within this subgroup of the “tested”, and those that have adequate treatment and health care. What are we doing to prevent the further spread of HIV?
If we don’t have initiatives that address HIV infected people who have been tested, in treatment, and are receiving the best health care insurance can provide; aren’t we missing a significant population and countless opportunities to prevent secondary infections of HIV?
