Black Americans and HIV/AIDS

Black Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS
since the epidemic’s beginning, and that disparity has deepened
over time.Blacks account for more HIV and AIDS cases,
people estimated to be living with AIDS, and HIV-related deaths
than any other racial/ethnic group in the U.S.1,4 The epidemic
has also had a disproportionate impact on Black women, youth,
and men who have sex with men, and its impact varies across the
country. Moreover, Blacks with HIV/AIDS may face greater barriers
to accessing care than their white counterparts.Today, there
are approximately 1.2 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the
U.S, including more than 500,000 who are Black. Analysis of
national household survey data found that more than 6% of Blacks
in the U.S. were HIV positive, higher than any other group.

WEAR A CONDOM! IF YOU DON'T THINK IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU, WELL THINK AGAIN. THESE NUMBERS ARE TOO HIGH, AND IF YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP OR STARTING A NEW RELATIONSHIP WEAR A CONDOMS. BOTH PARTNERS SHOULD DECIDE TO GET A HIV TEST TOGETHER. IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE TALKING TO YOUR PARTNER ABOUT THIS, ASK YOUR SELF THIS QUESTION WHO DO YOU LOVE? REMEMBER PEOPLE DO LIE AND DON'T FORGET IT.

YEAH, IT'S THAT SERIOUS!!!

Although Black Americans represent only 12% of the U.S.
population, they account for half (50%)of AIDS cases diagnosed in
2007
