Women and female adolescents now account for 26 percent of all new HIV cases in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control. Based on its most recent analysis of 2005 data, the CDC estimated that there were 56,300 new HIV infections that year and traced 31 percent of the total to high-risk heterosexual contact. More than half of the new cases of HIV infection worldwide are in women.
