AIDS cases dip in Illinois in 2005 study finds slight drop
Illinois reports a 3 percent drop in newly reported AIDS cases in 2005 from 2004 with total HIV and AIDS cases edging down to 3906. Black communities show a disproportionate share while 25 to 34 year olds account for 62 percent of new cases. Officials credit better treatment and ongoing prevention efforts as testing campaigns expand into churches and colleges. Public Health Director Eric Whitaker warned youth risk, and advocates noted the shift to name based reporting may affect testing. Kenneth Early, a Chicago resident, tested HIV negative and urged others to learn status amid ongoing outreach.
