Their numbers may be dwindling, but they are far from small. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 50,610 people with HIV died in the United States in 1995, the year before potent combinations turned the tide. By 1998 better treatment had more than halved that number, but 19,005 people with HIV still died in the United States.3 The tally continued to drop in the 21st century but stood at a still dismaying 16,371 in 2002.<\/p>\n For the full-text article, including links to references and tables, click on the link below.<\/p>\nJournal of IAPAC \u2013 March 2004<\/h2>\n
