An estimated 1.2 million Americans have HIV. Each year about 50,000 more get infected. Up to 25% of all infected people do not know they have the virus.
But among young people, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says about 60% do not know it. The CDC says 1/4 of new infections in the United States are in young people age 13 to 24.
December 1st is World AIDS Day. The latest United Nations AIDS report says 25 low- to middle-income countries have cut their rate of new infections in half since 2001. 13 of those countries are in sub-Saharan Africa.
But UNAIDS researchers say the number of new cases has risen more than 35% in the Middle East and North Africa since 2001.德尔·里奥医生说，现在的艾滋病毒检测就好比一个早期筛查工具，他还说这样做比人们生病以后再去找医生做检测找病因要有意义得多。
据估计，美国大约有120万人携带艾滋病毒，每年都有5万多人被感染，而所有被感染的人群中，多达25%的人并不知道自己携带艾滋病毒。
但是美国疾病防治中心表示，年轻人中不知情者约占60%。该机构还表示，美国有1/4的新增感染者是年龄在13至24岁的年轻人。
12月1日是世界艾滋病日，联合国艾滋病规划署最近一篇报道指出，自2001年以来，25个中低收入的国家已经将其新增感染人数比例减半，其中13个国家位于萨哈拉以南的非洲地区。
但规划署研究人员表示，自2001年以来，中东以及北非的新增病例数上涨了35%以上。
