PY - 2019 T2 - Pediatric Infectious Diseases: Essentials for Practice, 2e AB - In June 1981, the first cases in the United States of what was later called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were reported.1 Today, approximately 1.2 million people in the United States are estimated to be living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).1 In the general population, the number of new AIDS cases reported annually increased rapidly in the 1980s and peaked in 1992, with an estimated 78,000 cases diagnosed. In 1998, the epidemic stabilized and since then has declined slowly such that fewer than 40,000 AIDS cases are now diagnosed annually.1,2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/24 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1157323411 ER -
