The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published a detailed analysis of HIV spread in the US following last month’s revelation that the HIV epidemic is, and has been, worse than previously known, because the estimated number of new infections in 2006 was found to be about 56,300, which is 40% higher than the 40,000 they thought it would be. Among Hispanic MSM, most new HIV infections were in the youngest age group (2,300 among 13-29 year olds), followed by a not inconsiderable number among the 30-39 year olds (1,870).
