Subject: RE: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
From CDC factsheet on HIV infections(all demographics)
"After new HIV infections among men who have sex with men (MSM) peaked in the mid-1980s at more than 75,000 new infections a year, the number of new infections plummeted to less than 18,000 per year by the early 1990s. Unfortunately, after years of steady progress, new infections again began to rise among MSM throughout the 1990s.7 While in recent years, prevention efforts may have helped stabilize infections, they are occurring at far too high a level (29,800 per year.)8 Additionally, young MSM are the only risk group in which new infections are increasing."
