title: A wake-up call: people with HIV and AIDS live longer.
abstract: A national survey found that Americans' sense of urgency about HIV/AIDS as a national health problem has fallen dramatically. A review of government and foundation reports is used to emphasize the continuing extent of the epidemic in New York State and the United States. The emphasis is on the need for dentists to consider modifications for dental services, given the reality that many individuals with HIV/AIDS are living longer.
