increasing in prevalence? or increasing in diagnosis?

  If the diagnosis rate (incidence) increases, and people aren't dying rapidly, then the prevalence would surely increase as well. Unless you're using prevalence in the context of total people affected by a disease, regardless of whether or not they were diagnosed.
