th HIV in the United States are estimated to be unaware of their infection and little more than half of those who are aware of it are actually in care, Dr. Walensky and coworkers calculated that '…an additional 740,000 years of life might have been saved had all AIDS patients in the U.S. received appropriate treatment upon diagnosis.'

In an accompanying editorial, Sten H. Vermund, MD, PhD, of Vanderbilt University observed that the benefits of HAART suggested by this study are greater than previously thought and may become still greater if certain barriers to care can be reduced or eliminated--such as the requirement for 'extensive, expensive, time-consuming and intimidating' pre-test counseling for HIV infection. "If we address systematically the barriers to testing, care, and prevention,' he concluded, 'then future modelers will describe the next 15-year period as having saved hundreds of millions of life-years, not just in North America but around the globe.'
