AIDS deaths in New York City declined in 2005, dropping from 1,712 in 2002 to 1,412 three years later, an almost 18% decrease, reports The New York Times. A report by the city health department also shows that deaths from several other diseases and health problems have declined in the city since 2002, including alcohol-related deaths and smoking-related deaths. More New Yorkers also reported having a regular doctor in 2005 than in 2002, according to the report. (The Advocate)
