African Americans have the highest rate of HIV in the United States. Gay and bisexual black men are most infected. Black women are most likely to catch HIV than white women.[1] Even though Black people only makeup of the United States’ population, they had accounted for 43% new HIV cases in 2019.[2] Black people have been affected by the epidemic since the beginning of the disease.[3] Black women are more likely to die earlier from the disease.[4] Incarcerated black men also have a high HIV rate.[5]
