    CDC: AIDS death rate drops
    ---------------------------

Broad gains in the nation's health, including a dramatic decline in the AIDS
death rate, were reflected in an annual report from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).

The report, showing preliminary birth and death statistics for the United
States in 1996, indicates that: HIV/AIDS mortality declined 26 percent between
1995 and 1996, falling from the leading to the second leading cause of death
among 25-44 year-olds.

"There is a wealth of good news in this report, and I'm particularly encouraged
by the progress we are making against AIDS," said U.S. Health and Human Services
Secretary Donna Shalala. "In 1993, this administration began a sustained preven-
tion, treatment, and research effort that continues to pay off today in ways we
scarcely dared to hope. The 26 percent decline in deaths from HIV/AIDS in a
single year reported by CDC is truly a remarkable achievement."

The report shows the national age-adjusted death rate from HIV/AIDS dropped from
15.6 deaths per 100,000 population in 1995 to 11.6 in 1996. HIV infection, pre-
viously the leading cause of death for those 25-44, now ranks second behind
accidents and adverse effects and just ahead of cancer. HIV/ AIDS mortality had
increased an average of 16 percent per year between 1987 and 1994, before level-
ing off in 1995.

The new report, "Births and Deaths, United States: 1996," is prepared each year
by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. It contains preliminary data
based on over 90 percent of birth and death records reported to states.
