Number of U.S. AIDS Cases Increase

The number of new AIDS cases in the United States appears to have begun to rise again for the first time in 10 years, federal health officials reported today.

The number of Americans diagnosed with AIDS increased 2.2 percent in 2002, the first time the incidence of the disease has risen since 1993, according to preliminary data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

If confirmed in the final analysis of the national data collected annually by the CDC, the increase could mark a disturbing turning point in the AIDS epidemic in the United States, which had appeared to be stabilizing because of decades of intensive safe sex campaigns and the introduction of powerful new anti-viral drugs.

we must focus on abstinance only.

"had appeared to be stabilizing because of decades of intensive safe sex campaigns and the introduction of powerful new anti-viral drugs."

The powerful ant-viral drugs have ZERO to do with people NOT contracting the disease, which seems to be the subject of the bloody article!

People will read this and conclude.....OH Bush is sending all that money to Africa for drugs. The drugs work to combat the disease.

arrgghhhhhhhhhhhh,.....
