.LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The AIDS epidemic among African-Americans in some parts of the United States is as severe as in parts of Africa, according to a report out Tuesday.

"AIDS in America today is a black disease," says Phill Wilson, founder and CEO of the institute and himself HIV-positive for 20 years. "2006 CDC data tell us that about half of the just over 1 million Americans living with HIV or AIDS are black."

AIDS and HIV rates among African-Americans in some parts of the U.S. are as severe as in parts of Africa, according to a new report from the Black AIDS Institute. Although black people represent only about one in eight Americans, one in every two people living with HIV in the U.S. is black, the report notes. "AIDS in America today is a black disease," says Phill Wilson, the institute's founder and CEO


Not shocking. There was a study done where it showed black teenage girls had the most stds BY FAR over any other race/age/gender.
