Incidence of HIV in the USA?

Another Editorial in today’s Lancet quotes Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said that the number of new HIV infections per year in the USA was closer to 50 000 than 40 000. Fauci does not talk about diagnoses but new infections. He says that 52 000 is a new number that will soon become an official statistic. the figure shows that US efforts to prevent HIV have failed dismally. The CDC must not fail US citizens further by delaying the release of the data behind this fact.
