The number of HIV-AIDS cases is on the rise in Dane County, according to local health officials.

Dane County public health officials said that gay men and blacks are two segments of the population where they are seeing significant increases in HIV and AIDS cases, WISC-TV reported.

"Some people may think it's not that big of a deal anymore," said Cheryl Robinson, a public health program manager.
Robinson said that this idea is wrong.

In 2006, 64 new cases were reported to public health -- 28 were among gay men and 13 were among blacks. The age group of 25 to 44 year olds made up 51 percent of the cases reported, according to health officials.
