A Tanzanian official announced on Friday that the rate of HIV infections in the country had declined from 10 percent in 2002 to 7 percent in 2003-2004, with more infections in urban areas than in the countryside. "Tanzanians living in cities are more likely to be infected with HIV than their rural counterparts," Herman Lupogo, the executive chairman on the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS), said.
