It should be noted that the new incidence estimate does not represent an actual increase in the numbers of HIV infections, but reflects a more accurate way of measuring new infections. A separate CDC historical trend analysis published as part of this first analysis suggests that the annual number of new infections was never as low as 40,000 and that it has been roughly stable since the late 1990s.
The analyses published in the JAMA article are the first of many that will be published using data from this new system. Visit this site often to monitor emerging information on HIV incidence in the United States.
