        Differences by state, and in some states by sex, probably reflect HIV prevalence and the scope of HIV prevention programs in each state. This study shows that there is a need to further expand voluntary HIV counseling and testing. Improving access to and use of voluntary HIV counseling and testing services is an important strategy to increase the proportion of HIV-infected individuals who know they are infected. Early knowledge of HIV status allows for infected individuals to be referred for treatment and counseling to prevent further transmission.

         

        Varicella-Related Deaths -- United States, 2002

        Every death due to varicella infections a sentinel event and a tragic reminder of failure to vaccinate.

        Varicella (chickenpox) is a vaccine-preventable disease and a safe and effective vaccine has been available since 1995. The vaccine should be routinely administered at 12-18 months of age and to older susceptible children, teens and adults. When susceptible persons are exposed, they should be vaccinated. Children entering child care facilities and elementary schools should be required either to have received varicella vaccine or to demonstrate other evidence of varicella immunity. Efforts to increase routine and catch-up vaccination among children should include educating healthcare providers and parents that chickenpox is not always a benign disease. Healthy children and adults can die from chickenpox-related complications.
