The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that African Americans ac-
counted for nearly half (44%) of all new infections in 2010, despite making up only 14% of the
population.
Young people aged 13 - 29 accounted for 39% of all new HIV infections since 2009.
In 2010, black men accounted for 70% (14,700) of the estimated 20,900 new HIV infections
among all adult and adolescent blacks. The estimated rate of new HIV infection for black men
(103.6/100,000 population) was seven times as high as that of white men, twice as high as that
of Latino men, and nearly three times as high as among black women.
