BackgroundMost sexually active people will be infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) at some point in their lives. The number of STIs in the United States was previously estimated in 2000. We updated previous estimates to reflect the number of STIs for calendar year 2008.MethodsWe reviread more

TL;DR: This study provides the first direct estimates of HIV incidence in the United States using laboratory technologies previously implemented only in clinic-based settings and indicated that HIV incidence increased in the mid-1990s, then slightly declined after 1999 and has been stable thereafter.
