Description:
One of the scientific anomalies of the AIDS epidemic is the large difference in infection rates across populations. Given limited resources and segregated epidemics, prevention funding should be directed to population segments with high HIV prevalence and incidence. However, recent surveys of U.S. populations indicate that the allocation of prevention dollars is not consistent with the distribution of HIV in the population.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Catania, J A -- Morin, S F -- Canchola, J -- Pollack, L -- Chang, J -- Coates, T J -- MH42459/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH43892/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH51523/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Oct 27;290(5492):717.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for AIDS Prevention Studies, AIDS Research Institute, University of California-San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. jcatania@psg.ucsf.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11184201" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
