AIDS deaths, new cases
decline in county, Oregon
By Gernt Koeppmg
Em0»a>d WapontK
The battle against the AIDS virus
may have taken a turn for the better,
according to recant statistics from the
Centers for Disease Control.
National statistics show a decline
in the number of new AIDS i uses and
in AIDS deaths
According to CDC, the first half of
1991 saw 18,HU5 now AIDS cases di
agnosed. and in the second half of
that year the number dropped to
14,407, a 24 percent reduction
This is the first slowing of the dis
ease since the CDC began keeping
trark of AIDS in 1981
The number of AIDS related deaths
are also tbs lining with 13.301 deaths
in the first half of 1091, and 10,608
in the second half, a reduction of
nearly 21 pert ent
That puts the number of deaths
and new ( ases bat k to 1987 levels
Dr Mark Loveless, director of the
AIDS program at Oregon Health Sci
ence University, said the numbers
mav be misleading because new
drugs such as AZI mav have delayed
the onset of full-blown AIDS for
many [ample who are HIV positive
Since statistics on HIV-posilives
are rail gathered, there is no way lo
confirm whether the spread of HIV
has also Ireen slowed, he said
Nonetheless. Loveless said he sus
pet is HIV inlet lions are also slowing
One of the causes ol this is a t hange
in lifestyles among ga\ men, which
has slowed the spread of the disease
However, he said the spread tit
AIDS among heterosexual women
lias increased
According to the ( IK . there was
an 8 percent national reduction of
new AIDS cases transmitted its male
homosexual contact between 1990
and 1991 On the other hand, CDC
statistics find that cases Increased i'2
percent among heterosexual women
w ho aren't iV drug users
But women still count !nr only 11
percent of diagnosed AIDS cases in
(he United States, and heterosexual
women who don't use IV drugs at •
count lor about 1 percent of diag
nosed AIDS cases or 1,923 ( uses
Stove Modosilt. HIV surveillance
manager for Oregon’s Health Diva
sion. said Oregon is also seeing a do
t line in new AIDS rases In 19(H) Or
egon had 1)24 cases, in 1401 that
number dropped to 2 72 t uses
"I think the epidemit is slowing,
especially in Oregon, and with the
gay male population overall," he
saitl
Hut he cautioned that Oregon saw
increases among male IV drug users,
heterosexual men and women
f rom 1981 to 1988 there were H
now rases of male IV drug users de
veloping AIDS in Oregon. From 1989
to 1991 this number rose to 45,
Modesitt saitl
Oregon had just one male and four
females who got the disease through
heterosexual contact between 1981 to
198B. he saitl From 1989 to 1991
there were It! heterosexual men and
14 heterosexual women diagnosed.
Janet Winter, HIV educator for
Lane County Public Health Services,
saitl since 1985 there have been 77
cases of AIDS diagnosed anti 55 AIDS
deaths m Lane County
Of those diagnosed, more than 75
percent are gay men, he said
In Lane County, there are four
women who have been diagnosed
with AIDS Winter said three of those
women saitl they probably contracted
the disease through heterosexual con
tact, anti the fourth saitl slit- was an
IV drug user
Jim Shoemaker, coordinator id the
While Bird medical clinic, said the
statistics ought be worthless because
the exact number of people who have
HIV are not know
Shoemaker saitl that the retent sla
tistu s might hamper efforts to control
the disease
"This is going to give those; people
in denial an extra btiosl ot denial
