- AIDS is the leading cause of death for black women

- AIDS now accounts for 1 in 3 deaths among black men aged 25 to 40

- More children with AIDS are black than all other racial and ethnic groups combined

- Every day in the United States, about 100 people of color become infected with HIV

- More than two-thirds of all women in the United States who are infected with the AIDS virus are black

- Blacks represent over half (57%) of all new AIDS cases in the United States, though comprising less than a quarter (13%) of the population

- AIDS is the leading cause of death of blacks, age 25-44
