African Americans Comprise 54% of New HIV Cases

African Americans comprise “more than a third of U.S. AIDS cases and an estimated 54 percent of the nation’s new HIV infections” according to AIDS Action. It sounds like a silent epidemic to me.


“While African Americans represent approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that they account for more than a third of U.S. AIDS cases and an estimated 54 percent of the nation’s new HIV infections—a trend that has continued unabated since the late 1990s.” Via AIDS Action
