HIV is spreading rapidly among U.S. youth.


 HIV infection rates are increasing in youths ages 13 to 24 in the United States, a trend that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calls alarming. Overall, young people account for a greater proportion of HIV cases than AIDS cases. Half the new cases are of men who have sex with other men, and 10 percent involved injection drug users. Rising HIV infection rates among the young may be an indicator of overall rising rates in the general population. The CDC suggests that health care workers speak in schools to address the issue with students, and that they reinforce prevention efforts aimed at young gay and bisexual men. The issue of drug use and its relationship to increased high-risk sexual behavior also needs to be addressed, and teens need to be counseled on other sexually transmitted diseases. Statistics on the rate of HIV infection among young Americans are provided. Contact information is included for some of CDC's assistance programs.
