	CDC HIV/AIDS Facts Updated August 2009 At the end of 2006, an estimated 1.1 million persons in the United States were living with diagnosed or undiagnosed HIV infection [1]. In 2007, 42,655 new cases of HIV/AIDS in adults, adolescents, and children were diagnosed in the 34 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting [2]. CDC has developed an innovative system designed to estimate the number of new HIV infections (or incidence) for the United States in a given year. Using this technology, CDC estimates that 56,300 newinfections occurred in the United States in 2006 [3].... ...Beginning in the mid 1990s, advances in HIV treatments slowed the progression of HIV infection toAIDS. Better treatments also led to dramatic decreases in deaths among persons with AIDS living in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In general, the trend in the estimated numbers of AIDS cases and deaths remained stable from 2002 through 2005. Estimates for 2007—the most recent year for which these data are available—suggest that the number of AIDS cases have remained relatively stable, and that the number of deaths decreased; however, it is too early to determine whether this trend will hold.
