LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Sunday June 5th, marks 30 years since the first AIDS cases were reported in the United States.

More than 33 million people have HIV now, including more than a million in the U.S. Over the past three decades there have been major advances in treating HIV. But with no cure still, experts say a big part of the focus remains on preventing new infections.

More than 25 million people have died of AIDS since the first five cases were recognized in Los Angeles in 1981.
