   A Closer Look at a Serious Health Crisis   
      
   In the early 1980s, HIV/AIDS was considered primarily a gay white male   
   disease in the United States. Today, however, the epidemic has   
   expanded and while the disease remains primarily a gay white male   
   disease AIDS is also a major health problem in the African-American   
   community, where men and women of every age and sexual orientation are   
   affected.   
      
   African-American men account for 43 percent of HIV cases reported   
   among men in 2001.1  32 percent of African-American men who have sex   
   with men were found to be infected with HIV in a recent multi-city   
   study of men ages 23 to 29 years, compared to 14 percent of Latinos   
   and 7 percent of whites in the study.4  While information on recent   
   HIV infection is limited, data reported to CDC through 2001 suggest   
   that the leading cause of HIV infection among African-American men is   
   sexual contact with other men, followed by injection drug use and   
   heterosexual contact.1
