"New HIV diagnoses among gay and bisexual men between the ages of 13 and 24
increased by a staggering 132.5 percent between 2001 and 2011, according to a
new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But the annual diagnosis rate for the general American population dropped by a
third over the same time period, according to research culled from CDC data and
published today in The Journal of the American Medical Association."
