HIV/AIDS: Education, Prevention & Projection Campaign!

Take Control Now!

The Chicago Tribune recently reported that AIDS is the number

one cause of death for African Americans between the ages of

25 and 44. Once again, AIDS is on the rise, in the United States

and around the world. More women, more college students and

more people over the age of 50 are at greater risk than ever

before. It's really something you need to know about.

 


Events


 

The estimated number of deaths of Americans who have died of AIDS since the disease's first appearance in the early '80s is over 500,000.

 


 

 


 

The number of new infections is estimated at 40,000/year for the past decade.

 


 

 


 

It is estimated that of the 850,000–950,000 Americans living with HIV one in four are unaware of their infection.

 


 


 

An estimated two-thirds of new cases come from people who are unaware that they are infected with HIV.

 

 

 


 


 

In 2000, HIV/AIDS was among the top three causes of death for African-American men ages 25–54 and African-American women ages 35–44.

 

 

 


 


 

Black women account for 72% of all the new HIV cases in women.

 

 

 


 


 

67% of black women with HIV contracted it from heterosexual sex.

 

 

 


 


 

African American women are 23 times more times likely to be infected with AIDS than white women.

 

 

 


 


 

African American men are almost nine times more likely to be infected with AIDS than white men.

 

 

 


 


 

Seniors represent an estimated 14% of total AIDS cases, and senior women represent 18% of female AIDS cases.
