It's WORLD AIDS DAY and guess who is it's most active member of the AIDS club? Blacks,who are only 12 percent of the population, account for nearly half (46 percent) of people living with HIV in the United States. Blacks also account for 45 percent of new HIV infections each year. The rate of new HIV infections for Black men is about six times as high as that of White men. The HIV incidence rate for Black women is about 15 times as high as that of White women. At some point during their lives, one in 16 Black men and one in 30 Black women will be diagnosed with HIV. In conclusion? You better check yo'self before you wr-wr-wr-wreck yo'self, foo.
