Description
CHANGE WOMEN'S LIVES, CHANGE THE EPIDEMIC. The face of HIV/AIDS in America has gotten browner, younger, and more female. Rates of infection have diminished among some populations of those at greatest risk--such as men who have sex with men--but for others, particularly for young African American/Black men who have sex with men, and African American/Black women who have sex with men, HIV/AIDS rates continue to climb. There are some indications that, in 2007, the U.S. observed an increase in the number of new HIV infections--by as much as 50 percent--for the first time in over 10 years; this increase was centered largely among people of color. (1) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) latest epidemiology on women and HIV suggests that, while infections throughout the country appear to be slowing in the general population, HIV transmission through high-risk heterosexual behavior is still on the rise among women, African American/Blacks, and Latinas/Hispanics. Southern women experience the brunt of this reality. **********
