This must be the numbers of new infections
it is.
Figure 1: Estimated New HIV Infections in the United States, 2010, for the Most Affected Subpopulations
U.S. Statistics
it later says
BY RACE/ETHNICITY
Blacks/African Americans continue to experience the most severe burden of HIV, compared with other races and ethnicities.
Blacks represent approximately 12% of the U.S. population, but accounted for an estimated 44% of new HIV infections in 2010. They also accounted for 41% of people living with HIV infection in 2011.
Since the epidemic began, an estimated 270,726 blacks with AIDS have died, including an estimated 6,540 in 2012.
Hispanics/Latinos are also disproportionately affected by HIV.
Hispanics/Latinos represented 16% of the population but accounted for 21% of new HIV infections in 2010. Hispanics/Latinos accounted for 20% of people living with HIV infection in 2011.
Disparities persist in the estimated rate of new HIV infections in Hispanics/Latinos. In 2010, the rate of new HIV infections for Latino males was 2.9 times that for white males, and the rate of new infections for Latinas was 4.2 times that for white females.
Since the epidemic began, more than 100,888 Hispanics/Latinos with an AIDS diagnosis have died, including 2,155 in 2012.
i know two people personally who died from AIDS.
one a black gay dude who got caught up into escorting, crystal meth, and straight up didn't care about his life. i didn't even know he had it....got the news about 2 years ago he died because he didn't acknowledge it, didn't get tested, never took meds....
the other a straight black woman who was a distant cousin of mine. she was so ashamed of the stigma around picking up her HIV meds in our small town pharmacy, that she never took them. she died about 10 years ago, leaving my two cousins without their mother
