(2008-07-30) Us Black Hiv Left Behind

The Black Aids Institute just [issued](http://www.blackaids.org/Show Article.aspx?pagename=Show Article&articletype=SITEFEATURE&articleid=576&pagenumber=1) a report (PDF) about the size of the current HIV problem for African American-s. Although black people represent only about one in eight Americans, one in every two people living with HIV in the United States is black, the report notes... In Washington DC, more than 80 percent of HIV cases are among black people, that's one in 20 residents.
