Blacks hardest hit by HIV in US - report

ATLANTA, June 13 (Reuters) - Blacks account for nearly half of the
more than 1 million Americans with HIV, according to federal data
released on Monday that suggests the battlelines of the nation's AIDS
epidemic are marked as much by race as by sexual preference.
An estimated 1,039,000 to 1,185,000 Americans were living with HIV at
the end of 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at
the 2005 National HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta.
Forty-seven percent were black, a disproportionate figure considering
that blacks make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population. Whites
accounted for 34 percent of the HIV-positive population and Hispanics
17 percent.
Gay and bisexual men made up 45 percent of the total.
"The HIV epidemic, initially most prominent among white gay men, has
expanded to affect a wide range of populations, with African-Americans
now most severely impacted," Dr. Ron Valdiserri, deputy director of the
CDC's HIV, STD and TB prevention programs, told reporters in a
conference call.
In a separate analysis of 1,767 men who have sex with men, CDC
researchers found that 46 percent of blacks were infected. That
compared to 21 percent of whites in the group and 17 percent of the
Hispanics, according to the study, which was carried out in five U.S.
cities and presented at the conference.
MOST UNAWARE
The researchers also discovered that 67 percent of the black men in
the group did not know they were infected before participating in the
study, more than three times the percentage of whites who were unaware.
Valdiserri said providing gay and bisexual black men and other
high-risk subgroups with testing and prevention services was a key step
to halting the spread of HIV.
AIDS, which destroys the immune system and leaves victims vulnerable
to opportunistic infections and cancers, has killed about a half
million Americans and at least 22 million people worldwide since 1981.
Health experts have been warning of a possible resurgence of the
epidemic, which eased in the early 1990s following the development of
antiretroviral drugs targeting the disease.
Since the late 1990s, when U.S. deaths from AIDS stabilized at 16,000
per year and new HIV infections stabilized at 40,000 per year, the
disease has shown signs of a comeback among gay and bisexual men and
intravenous drug users.
The CDC, however, said it was possible that the make-up of the HIV
positive population would shift in coming years to reflect a higher
proportion of infections among blacks, women and individuals infected
by high-risk heterosexual contact.
To combat the changing scope of HIV, the U.S. government is
emphasizing programs that focus on testing and counseling people who
are already infected.
AIDS activists, however, attack the approach, which was introduced two
years ago, because they believe it leads to reduced funding for
programs that emphasize condom use and other safe-sex practices for
uninfected people.
The government recommends that pregnant women, intravenous-drug users
and anyone who engages in unsafe sex receive routine HIV testing.
