A 2006 report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that over 1.1 million people in the United States are infected with HIV, 233,000-or one in five of people infected with the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS-are completely unaware that they are infected with the virus.
It also shows that the population living with HIV is growing as more people become newly infected and as more patients survive through antiretroviral drugs.
These estimates also stated that 56,300 new HIV infections were reported in 2006. Men made up three-fourth of Americans living with HIV infections, while 48 percent of the same population were men who have sex with men.
Although male-to-male sexual contact was the leading cause of HIV infections in the United States, heterosexual sex accounted for 28 percent of HIV-infected people. Meanwhile, injection drug use, which spreads the virus through contaminated needles, contributed 19 percent of the HIV cases.
African-Americans made up 46 percent of those infected with HIV, which translates to about 510,000 people. About 35 percent of those with HIV were Caucasians and 18 percent were Hispanic, according to CDC.
Meanwhile, African-American women were nearly 18 times more likely than their Caucasian counterparts to be infected with HIV, while black men were six times more likely than white men. Hispanics were 2.6 times more likely than whites to be infected.
CDC spokesperson Richard Wolitski said that the data showed "the continued impact that the episdemic is having on American, and they really reinforce the severe toll that is experienced in multiple communities."
Wolitski added that as the number of people living with HIV grows, the cost of providing medical services to this population increases as well and becomes a burden on the U.S. health care system.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I鈥檓 not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I鈥檇 post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Thanks
Wow!…
A very awesome post….
It is quite hard to find good help…
I am really regularly saying that its difficult to find good honest help, but here is…
I leave a response each time I appreciate a article on a site or I have something to valuable to contribute to the discussion. Usually it is triggered by the fire communicated in the article I browsed. And after this post 233000 Americans Don’t Know They Have HIV | VD. I was moved enough to post a comment
I actually do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind. Is it only me or do a few of these responses come across as if they are coming from brain dead people? 
And, if you are writing on additional online social sites, I’d like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Would you list all of all your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
You could certainly see your skills within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart. “The point of quotations is that one can use another’s words to be insulting.” by Amanda Cross.
