  • Title: Some relief from the epidemic.
    Author: Cadman JA.
    Journal: GMHC Treat Issues; 1997 Mar; 11(3):1-3. PubMed ID: 11364274.
    Abstract:
    Death and hospitalization rates for people with AIDS dropped sharply in 1996, due to prevention of opportunistic infections, better medical care, and combination antiretroviral therapy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that this was the first decline since the epidemic was identified. Research specific to New York City confirms the trend. Across the country and overseas, hospital admissions for HIV and AIDS dropped. However, there is concern about disparities in the mortality rates between blacks and whites. Efforts to control the epidemic are beginning to pay off. However, AIDS is threatening to become a disease in which a patient's outcome is determined more by his social and financial status than by the state of medicine.
