This 2 Percent of US Population Accounts for 63 Percent of HIV/AIDs Cases
For years, society has been told that HIV and AIDS are no longer gay diseases. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however, provides telling evidence that homosexual men are at a much greater risk for HIV/AIDS and other diseases. According to the CDC report released at the end of September to coincide with “National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day,” just 2 percent of the population is made up of gay or bisexual men, yet they accounted for 63 percent of all newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases in 2010.
