The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta. Unfortunately, some people don't understand retroviruses and other diseases. I have worked with people who have been involved in researching several different diseases (not just AIDS). Statistically, the greatest increase in certain types of AIDS (there are varient strains and they mutate frequently) is in females. There are lots of theories but most likely due to less emphasis on prevention for this demographic. Other STI's aren't new, they just don't make the news very often because it isn't very entertaining.
I have edited some of the very "dry" research aka technically important but can be really dull reading. There is a lot of great information for public view in several places. PM me if you'd like me to send some suggestions. I can't release research that wasn't mine to give without permission.
