HIV/AIDS Among African American Women

Overall, the number of Americans diagnosed with HIV each year has declined. But infection rates have steadily increased among African American women. In 2001, AIDS was the number one cause of death for 25- to 34-year-old African American women.

What is the first priority for reducing HIV/AIDS infection in this group?

 

Create targeted prevention campaigns.

 

Provide free contraceptives to young women.

 

Implement frank HIV/AIDS education in schools.

 

Provide access to free, anonymous HIV testing.

 

Teach "abstinence until marriage."

 

Other/none of the above

(I've already taken the poll and want to see the results.)

Stay tuned for a schedule of online discussions with Road to Health experts.
