"According to the 2000 census, African Americans make up approximately 13% of the US population. However, African Americans accounted for 19,206 (50%) of the estimated 38,730 new HIV/AIDS diagnoses in the United States in the 35 areas with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting.

During 2001–2004, the rate of HIV/AIDS diagnoses for African Americans decreased, although the rate for African Americans was still the highest rate for all racial and ethnic groups."


I listened to a radio report yesterday – in some cities 50% of the black male gay population is HIV+.

In 2004, the CDC reported that blacks accounted for half
of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses, with an AIDS case rate
among adults and adolescents more than 10 times higher
than that of whites. Over 200,000 African Americans
have died of AIDS in the past twenty five years.

Could anyone else see Dave Chappelle doing a skit about this? Something along the lines of like how crack was made to put down the black man? I miss Dave.
