Over 1 Million Living with HIV
There are now over 1 million people living with AIDS in the US, according to a government report that was released yesterday.
This is being declared both a victory and a failure by various groups; a victory in that those with HIV are living longer thanks to new drugs, but a failure in that goals to reduce the number of those infected are clearly not being met.
What's really frightening is that they think 25% of those infected don't even know it.
Fark.com did a good job of summing up the situation with their headline pointing to this story:
"This just in: The number of Americans infected with the HIV virus has recently surpassed one million. Now back to Missing White Woman/Pervert of the Week stories on CNN".
