HIV AIDS IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY
The African American Community is facing a major health crisis called HIV/AIDS. This disease has become a pandemic in the African American Community. South Africa alone has 5.7 million people living with HIV and AIDS in 2019, more than any other country. Almost one-in-three women aged 25-29, and over a quarter of men aged 30-34, are living with HIV (Human Sciences Research Council, 2019). Although African Americans make up 12% of the U.S. population, they accounted for half of the new HIV infections reported in 2019. Research shows that many new infections occur among young African Americans. This paper will use information from research to show why this disease has plagued the African American Community, and what is being done to thwart the pandemic.
HIV/AIDS has become a major health problem in the African American Community, where men and women of any age and sexual orientation are affected. In 2017 Blacks accounted for 49% of the estimated 35,962 AIDS cases diagnosed in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Studies show
