Answer:Since the height
of the epidemic in the mid-1980s, the annual number of
new HIV infections in the United States has been reduced
by more than two-thirds, from roughly 130,000 in 1985
to approximately 50,000 in 2010. As a result of treatment
advances since the late 1990s, the number of people living
with HIV (HIV prevalence) has increased dramatically. Yet,
despite increasing HIV prevalence and more opportunities
for HIV transmission, the number of new infections was
relatively stable from the mid-1990s through 2010.
Explanation:Prevention efforts have led to encouraging declines in new diagnoses among some populations – including African American
women, people who inject drugs and heterosexuals – and a stabilization in new diagnoses among gay and bisexual men,
including black men. However, as many as 50,000 people still become newly infected each year. In addition to recognized risk
behaviors, a range of social and economic factors places some Americans at increased risk for HIV infection
