  • Title: Update: trends in AIDS incidence -- United States, 1996.
    Author: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep; 1997 Sep 19; 46(37):861-7. PubMed ID: 9310209.
    Abstract:
    Provisional surveillance data about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) for the first 6 months of 1996 indicated a decrease in deaths among persons with AIDS, attributed primarily to the effect of antiretroviral therapies on the survival of persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This report describes a decline in AIDS incidence during 1996 compared with 1995 and the continued decline in AIDS deaths; the findings indicate that HIV therapies are having a widespread beneficial impact on the rate of HIV disease progression in the United States.
