In addition to being a population seriously affected by HIV, Hispanics/Latinos continue to face challenges in accessing health care, prevention services, and HIV treatment. In 2005, HIV/AIDS was the fourth leading cause of death among Hispanic/Latino men and women aged 35 to 44. /hiv/hispanics/ Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:00:00 EST Surveillance slide set of HIV/AIDS Surveillance - Pediatrics (through 2006) /hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/slides/pediatric/index.htm Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:00:00 EST Surveillance slide set of HIV/AIDS Surveillance - General Epidemiology (through 2006) /hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/slides/general/index.htm Fri, 4 Apr 2008 16:00:00 EST The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a serious threat to the Hispanic/Latino community.

Vol. 18 /hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/reports/pdf/DearColleagueSurveillance.pdf Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:00:00 EST At the end of 2003, an estimated 1,039,000 to 1,185,000 persons in the United States were living with HIV/AIDS. In 2006, 35,314 new cases of HIV/AIDS in adults, adolescents, and children were diagnosed in the 33 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting. New HIV/AIDS diagnoses tell us how many people have been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS, but do not necessarily represent new HIV infections because a person may have been infected in years past but received a diagnosis in 2006. CDC plans to release the estimated number of new HIV infections this year. /hiv/resources/factsheets/us.htm Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:00:00 EST The HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report is published annually by the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Atlanta, Georgia. /hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/reports/2006report/default.htm Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:00:00 EST Tuberculosis (TB) is the second most common cause of death from infectious disease in the world after human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Immunosuppressed HIV-infected persons are highly susceptible to TB disease, and countries in sub-Saharan Africa have the highest TB incidence rates, primarily because of the HIV epidemic. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5711a3.htm?s_cid=mm5711a3_e Mon, 24 Mar 2008 11:00:00 EST Surveillance slide set of HIV/AIDS cases among adult and adolescent men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States, from 1985 through 2005. /hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/slides/msm/ Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:00:00 EST The number of persons aged 50 years and older living with HIV/AIDS has been increasing in recent years. This increase is partly due to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which has made it possible for many HIV-infected persons to live longer, and partly due to newly diagnosed infections in persons over the age of 50. /hiv/topics/over50/ Fri, 29 Feb 2008 11:00:00 EST The number of persons aged 50 years and older living with HIV/AIDS has been increasing in recent years.
