According to the CDC, 1 in 16 black men will become infected with HIV and 1 in 30 black women will be infected with HIV in their lifetime

African Americans are about 12% of the population but are infected with almost half of the new HIV cases. The rate of new AIDS cases among Latino men is twice that of white men and the rate among Latino women is four times that of white women.
