艾滋病毒和艾滋病对非洲裔美国人的影响比美国任何其他种族或族裔群体都要大。仅占美国人口的13%，非洲裔美国成年人和青少年占向疾病控制和预防中心报告的所有艾滋病毒/艾滋病病例的一半以上。美国黑人社区目前艾滋病毒/艾滋病的发病率和流行率已达到危机程度。今天的情况对非洲裔美国人来说相当于紧急状态。
HIV and AIDS disproportionately affect African Americans more than any other racial or ethnic group in the United States. Representing only 13% of the U.S. population, African-American adults and adolescents comprise more than half of all HIV/AIDS cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The present incidence and prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the black community in the United States is of crisis proportions. The situation as it stands today is tantamount to a state of emergency for African Americans.
