New HIV stats. This shows that the younger are infecting at a fast rate.

From 2007 through 2010 the rates among lower ages increased (15-24 years old) and in 2010, the largest percentage of all diagnoses (16%) and the highest rate per 100,000 population (36.9) were those for persons aged 20–24 years.

The rates among Hispanics/Latinos, Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders, whites, and persons reporting multiple races decreased. The rates among Asians and blacks/African Americans remained stable and in 2010, blacks/African Americans accounted for 46% of all diagnoses of HIV infection.

Useless figures. Without a source and specified regions, gender, sexual orientation etc they are utterly meaningless. For detailed research results for Gay men see the new Lancet special on Hiv and MSM (sic) published during the Aids2012 conference. www.thelancet.com

Not to say that everything this guy said was true, because I'm not sure what he read, but on the contrary I did read a study that said HIV was on the rise as was unprotected sex. However, you are correct that a source should always be provided when given and especially when asked for. From what I recall, the people interviewed cited the failure to discuss sex education in schools as well as young people's perceptions that HIV isn't that big of a deal. Scientists were complaining that HIV is no longer news worthy anymore so they can't spread awareness, etc. And no, this wasn't in THE SUN. I'll try to dig around for it but I read it sometime this year. I want to say late spring/early summer. Now, even if I do find the report, it's always important to look at the damned margin of error. We don't have reporters anymore. We have 20-year-olds who are told to re-word press releases.
