Measuring HIV Risk in the U.s. Population Aged 15-44


Book Description

This report is intended to provide reliable national estimates of some basic statistics on certain types of sexual and drug use behavior, in order to estimate the size and characteristics of populations at elevated risk for acquiring or transmitting human immunodeficiency virus or HIV, the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Book Description

Increased HIV screening may help identify more people with the disease, but there may not be enough resources to provide them with the care they need. The Institute of Medicine's Committee on HIV Screening and Access to Care concludes that more practitioners must be trained in HIV/AIDS care and treatment and their hospitals, clinics, and health departments must receive sufficient funding to meet a growing demand for care.
