Adolescent Health Information Series
African American Women and HIV/AIDS: Confronting the Crisis and Planning for Action - April 4, 2008, 2-3:00 p.m. ET
Although rates of infection among African American women decreased by six percent between 2000 and 2003, they still account for a disproportionate number of new infections. In 2002 HIV infection was the leading cause of death for African American women aged 25–34 years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2005 Black women accounted for 67 percent of AIDS cases among women 13 and older. Furthermore, the AIDS case rate for Black women was 24 times the rate for white women. The call will feature a presentation from the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) to provide capacity-building assistance related to HIV prevention for women to health departments along with state highlights from Iowa and Michigan.
