HIV/AIDS Remains an Issue

• Gay and bisexual men of all races are the only group in the United States where the estimated number of new HIV infections is rising annually.
• They are 44 to 86 times more likely to become infected with HIV than other men, and 40 to 77 times more likely to become infected than women.
• Approximately one-half of the 1.1 million persons living with HIV in the United States are gay and bisexual men, and they account for the majority (53 percent) of new HIV infections each year.
• High rates of HIV among gay men are found not only in large urban areas. More than half of all AIDS cases diagnosed in the United States are among gay and bisexual men irrespective of town or city size.
