Rates of Epidemic Infection Drops

Today, epidemics of outbreaks have broke out, the New York Times reported that the current infection rate, known as Spain influenza, has declined. According to the New York Times, more than 900 cases were reported in the past 24 hours, 91 people died. As of October 21, only 3,362 cases have been reported with this 20% influenza. As New Yorker soon breathed a sigh of relief, in other parts of the country I was shocked by the epidemic spread. This is usually common at this time, but it was never fatal.

"Since 1993, prevalence of HIV in pregnant women has become an important indicator of the progression of this epidemic with more than half of the decline in the area, the infection rate of men seeking treatment for sexually transmitted diseases is one-third The HIV prevalence rate of pregnant women going to the capital of Kampala and prenatal clinics has declined from 31% in 1993 to 14% in 1998. On the other hand, in Kampala, pregnant women under 20 years of age The infection rate was from 1990. In other areas where 21% declined to 8%, the rate of HIV infection decreased from 46% in 1992 to 30% in 1998.

Preventing HIV is the key to lower the rate of infection and to delay the epidemic of AIDS. Young people between the ages of 15 and 24 are at the center of spread and influence of AIDS epidemics. By changing attitudes and behaviors leading to epidemics, they are the greatest threat and hope for reversing HIV. It is proven that we can protect ourselves and others if young people are supported. The 2006 World AIDS epidemic report recorded changes in behavior, including delay in initial sexual experience, increased use of condoms by young people, and declining HIV prevalence among adolescents in several sub-Saharan countries .

The HIV prevalence rate reflects the HIV prevalence rate of each country's population. However, low national prevalence can be misleading. They often hide the epidemic initially focused on specific areas and population groups and may spread to a wider population. In many developing countries, most new infections occur in young people, and young women are particularly vulnerable. HIV data was obtained from the United Nations Collaboration Plan on HIV / AIDS (UNAids). Estimating the data and changing the procedures and assumptions that are better coordinated with each country will lead to better estimates of HIV and AIDS. These models are frequently updated to track the epidemic and its impact of HIV and make full use of HIV epidemic trends from monitoring data and survey data.
