North Carolina: New HIV Cases Put at 2,200

August 19, 2008

According to CDC's improved method of estimating HIV infections, about 2,200 North Carolinians acquired the virus in 2006 - 953 more cases than the estimate of 1,247 found in the state's epidemiological survey. "We know that science-based prevention interventions and testing work to help prevent the spread of HIV," said Evelyn Foust, chief of the state's Communicable Diseases Branch. "However, our prevention efforts must be adequately funded and vigorously applied, and newly diagnosed individuals must get into care and treatment."
