CDC understated number of new HIV infections in US

“Some advocates complain that CDC's annual spending on HIV prevention in the United States has been held to roughly $700 million since 2001, while costs have risen. (That's about 3 percent of what the federal government spends on AIDS; much of the rest is on medicines, health care and research.)"

(This means that the US currently spends $23.3 billion per year on AIDS: $700 million is 3% of $23.3 billion).
