Aids & Blacks In America

Some startling facts I'd like to share that I saw on CNN:
  • 30,000 New HIV infections each year
  • 47% of people in America that have HIV are black
  • Leading cause of death in black women ages 25-35
  • 2nd leading cause of death in black men ages 35-44
  • 80% of Americans with HIV in Washington D.C. are black
  • 84% of Americans with HIV in Jacksonville, MS are black
...c'mon, people, let's not go out like this! There's ways to prevent this, so let's prevent it.
