Description
INTRODUCTION The HIV pandemic remains the most serious infectious disease challenge to public health. Statistics from the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimate that 33.2 million people were living with HIV/AIDS worldwide at the end of 2007 (UNAIDS, 2007). About 1.3 million of them (3.9%) live in North America. In the United States, the annual number of new HIV infections has declined from a peak of more than 150,000 in the mid-1980s to approximately 40,000 in the late 1990s. Young people (13 to 25 years of age) account for at least half of all these cases (CDC, 2006).
