Obama administration unveiling national HIV/AIDS strategy
By the CNN Wire Staff, July 13, 2010 2:00 a.m. EDT
The Obama administration unveils its national strategy Tuesday for fighting HIV and AIDS.
The strategy will focus on three areas: reducing the number of people who become infected, increasing access to care and decreasing HIV-related health disparities.
The announcement comes less than a week after a group of scientists published a study saying they had made a key discovery that could help in the development of an HIV vaccine.
Scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said last week that they had found three human antibodies that neutralize more than 90 percent of the current circulating HIV-1 strains.
“This is significant because we’ve now found antibodies that are good templates for HIV vaccine development,” said Peter Kwong, co-author of the study published last Thursday in the journal Science.
But even with promising scientific advances, the number of people living with HIV infection in the United States is higher than ever before, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC estimates that more than 1 million people are living with HIV in the United States, and one in five of them is unaware of their infection.
More than 18,000 people with AIDS die each year in the United States, the CDC says, and more than 576,000 people with AIDS in the United States have died since the epidemic began.
The World Health Organization says AIDS accounted for an estimated 2 million deaths in 2008, and more than 33 million people are living with HIV worldwide.
