  10. Overall, even though African Americans make up only approximately 13% of the US population, one half of the estimated new numbers of HIV/AIDS diagnoses in the United States in 2004 were for African Americans [1].* • AIDS has become a leading cause of death for African Americans. In 2002 (the most recent year for which data are available), HIV/AIDS was the second leading cause of death for all African Americans aged 35–44 [2]. In the same year, HIV/AIDS was the number 1 cause of death for African American women aged 25–34 [2]. • Of the almost 1 million cases of AIDS diagnosed in the United States 40% were in African Americans [1]. • Of the more than half a million people with AIDS who have died, 38% were African Americans [1]. • It is not an exaggeration to say that HIV/AIDS is an epidemic in the African American community. • African Americans have accounted for 40% of AIDS diagnoses since the beginning of the epidemic [1]. • African Americans do not live as long as people in other racial or ethnic groups who have AIDS [1]. • In 2004,more African American children (under the age of 13) were living with AIDS than were children of all other races and ethnicities living with AIDS combined [1].
