ARMY Quoted from the JULY/AUGUST 1998 MSMR
Active duty soldiers: During 1997 and the first half of 1998, 83 soldiers were diagnosed with HIV-1 infections. Rates of detection of HIV-1 in 1997 (0.22 per 1000 screened) and during the first half of 1998 (0.17 per 1000 screened) were lower than in 1996 and thus extended the ten year trend of slow but inexorable decline. The ten year trend among male soldiers reflected the overall trend while infection rates among female soldiers remained relatively stable during the period. From 1988 through June 1998, 2,637 active duty soldiers were diagnosed with HIV-1 infections. Approximately one of eight (11.8%) of them remain on active duty. Fewer than 4% of those diagnosed in 1988 but greater than 83% of those diagnosed in 1997 continue in active Army service.
