Nonetheless, the press release is more public relations than surveillance and studiously avoids other points about HIV in NM. To avoid controversy (?), DOH makes no mention that, for example:
Hispanic cases are roughly proportional to the population of Hispanics in the state (also ~45%).
African Americans, in contrast, are disproportionately represented with 5-6% of cases but only ~2% of the population.
The 2006 Surveillance report excludes Native Americans without any explanation.
and (most surprising) CDCs revised estimates might finally bring the CDC numbers in line with those NM has been publishing all along!
