Last year 18, 303 Americans were diagnosed with the AIDS virus infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The agency also reports that there were 12,333 deaths (due to any cause) of people with diagnosed HIV infection ever classified as AIDS, and 6,721 deaths were attributed directly to HIV in 2014. At the end of 2013, the most recent year for which such data are available, an estimated 1,242,000 adults and adolescents were living with HIV in the United States. As nations all over the world endeavor to recognize World AIDS Day, it is clear HIV and AIDS continue to be pervasive national and global public health threats, despite the considerable clinical progress made here in the United States and in other countries.
