African-Americans make up just 13 percent of the U.S. population but account for an astounding 51 percent of new HIV diagnoses. Black men are diagnosed at more than seven times the rate of white men, black females at 20 times the rate of white women.

Hoo, lawdy lawd. I'm not even going to say anything, but wow.

I am guessing that would have a lot to do with education, race percentages and ratios in prison and poverty.

AIDS is not a black thing, it is a social thing to do with amongst other factors enviroment. America over the decades has seen to it that Black Americans have one of the hardest social enviroments to grow up in

AIDS is not a black thing, but what's going on is the same thing that happened w/Katrina. AIDS is exposing the inherent racism and inequality in America.
