Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is being demanded by AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) to instantly issue its latest figures about the new cases of HIV infections in the United States. New questions about the actual figure of HIV cases in the United States have been raised after an editorial published in the esteemed British medical journal, The Lancet, and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s remarks who is director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

The CDC issued its data for the public last time in 2005 and now it has been expected that it would show an alarming higher HIV rate and it is going through a through an attentive review process and that’s why it has not been finalized about its publication. This has been stated in a ‘Dear Colleague’ letter from CDC officials on November 26, 2007.According to some specialists there may be more than 50% increase in new cases per year countrywide.

Under the headline “What is the Incidence of HIV in the US?” the editorial has been issued in The Lancet on June 21. It has been mentioned in the editorial that in a press conference at the UN High-level Meeting on AIDS in New York some weeks back, Dr. Fauci stated that there were 40,000 to 50,000 new cases of HIV infections per year in the U.S.

According to Whitney Engeran who is Director of AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s Public Health Division, “There is a leading scientist who is claiming that prevention is out of order and an alarming increase is behind CDC’s pending numbers but still health officials and public at large have no access to the vital information.”
