I got this via email today...
The first cases of what would later become known as AIDS were reported in the United States in June of 1981. Since that time, almost 1.5 million people in the U.S. have been infected with HIV, including more than 500,000 who have already died and another 850,000-950,000 who are estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS. As part of the Kaiser Family Foundation's ongoing effort to provide the latest information about HIV/AIDS, we are releasing an updated fact sheet on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S., including trends over time, a current profile of AIDS cases, and the impact of the epidemic on particular populations. The fact sheet, as well as other resources on the epidemic in the U.S. and globally, can be found at www.kff.org/hivaids/3029-03.cfm .
