Why is HIV/AIDS an example of an EID? TERETHETH O A. Because it transferred from Africa in the 1970s and rose to epidemic levels in the United States in the 1990s O B. Because it stayed in one location C. Because there's no cure for it D. Because it killed more than a million people in just the span of a few decades

Since the height

of the epidemic in the mid-1980s, the annual number of

new HIV infections in the United States has been reduced

by more than two-thirds, from roughly 130,000 in 1985

to approximately 50,000 in 2010. As a result of treatment

advances since the late 1990s, the number of people living

with HIV (HIV prevalence) has increased dramatically. Yet,

despite increasing HIV prevalence and more opportunities

for HIV transmission, the number of new infections was

relatively stable from the mid-1990s through 2010.

Explanation:Prevention efforts have led to encouraging declines in new diagnoses among some populations – including African American

women, people who inject drugs and heterosexuals – and a stabilization in new diagnoses among gay and bisexual men,

including black men. However, as many as 50,000 people still become newly infected each year. In addition to recognized risk

behaviors, a range of social and economic factors places some Americans at increased risk for HIV infection
