对美国向疾病控制中心报告的艾滋病病例数据的分析表明，少数民族和白人的风险群体情况截然不同。异性恋者在少数群体男性艾滋病患者中所占比例要高得多，双性恋者与同性恋者的比例高出两到三倍，使用静脉注射针头是少数群体人口中的一个更大的风险因素。在感染艾滋病的妇女和儿童中，少数民族分别占75%和82%。有艾滋病风险的白人往往集中在同性恋社区，而有艾滋病风险的黑人则分散在整个社区。因此，针对同性恋人群的艾滋病教育计划没有覆盖到大多数处于危险中的少数群体。艾滋病预防计划需要考虑到这一事实。
Analysis of the AIDS case data for the United States reported to the Centers for Disease Control reveals quite different risk group profiles for minorities and for whites. A much higher percentage of minority male AIDS cases are heterosexual, the ratio of bisexual to homosexual cases is two to three times higher, and IV needle use is a greater risk factor in minority populations. Among women and children with AIDS, 75% and 82% respectively are minorities. Whites at risk for AIDS tend to be concentrated in the gay community but blacks at risk for AIDS are dispersed throughout the entire community. As a result, AIDS education programs aimed a gay populations do not reach most of the minority populations at risk. AIDS prevention programs need to take this fact into account.
