Welcome to Science Clips, CDC's weekly digest!

This week, Science Clips is pleased to collaborate with CDC Vital Signs by featuring scientific articles from the current Vital Signs issue on Communicable Diseases - HIV/AIDS (www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns). Although not all articles are peer-reviewed they are taken from authoritative sources and represent sound scientific information. Those articles marked with an asterisk are general review articles which may be of particular interest to clinicians and public health professionals seeking background information in this area.

Science Clips will return to its regular format next week. Science Clips is a service of the Stephen B. Thacker CDC Library and CDC's Office of the Chief Science Officer.
