HIV Transmission Rate Declines in U.S.

According to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, although the number of people living with HIV has increased in the United States over time, the rate at which an infected person passes t he virus on to an uninfected person has dropped significantly since the peak of the epidemic. 95 percent or more of those living with HIV do not transmit the virus to others, which indicates that prevention efforts are having a real impact.
