The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a federal agency that conducts and supports health promotion, prevention and preparedness activities in the United States with the goal of improving overall public health. Established in 1946 and based in Atlanta, the CDC is managed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The characteristics of the first 50,352 cases, reported between 1981 and 1987 to CDC, differ significantly from the characteristics of the 69,151 cases reported a decade later in 1996. The epidemic has become increasingly an epidemic of non-white populations, of women, and of heterosexuals and injecting drug users.
