Black gay and bi men devastated by AIDS, report says

Black gay and bisexual men account for just 1 in 500 Americans, but a quarter of all new HIV infections, according to a new report from the Black AIDS Institute

“The AIDS epidemic is not over in that population. Quite frankly, it is the worst epidemic in all of the developed world, and an epidemic that rivals much of the developing world,” said the institute’s president and chief executive, Phill Wilson, who faulted mainstream LGBT organizations for ignoring the crisis.
