Dawn,

What type of content are you loading? If you are simply updating the page
and the user will find the changed content using normal navigation ARIA is
not necessary. Live regions make sense when the content is constantly
changing and a user needs to be alerted to the update. For example, a chat
client where the other participant sends a message.
