falling disproportionately on different populations. (12) Although African-Americans account for about 13 percent of the United States population, they account for nearly half of all HIV/AIDS cases and infections and have higher instances of mortality and morbidity for most STIs and HIV/AIDS. Also, African-American women who have sex with men account for the majority of HIV/AIDS infections among all women in the United States.
