HIV is on the rise
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a report stating the HIV in the United States has increased quite a lot:
There are more new cases of Americans infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, than previously believed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Saturday.
About 56,000 people became infected with HIV in the past year, which translates to about 40 percent more cases than officials had estimated, said Dr. Kevin Fenton, director of the CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention.
I am not at all surprised. When you look at how many celebrities, professional athletes, and even politicians are having children outside of wedlock, it’s obvious that quite a few people are having unprotected sex.
