whoa
hispanics account for 13% of pop and 19% of new HIV infections
with 89% of cases being male.
male blacks have the highest infection rate and represent only 12% of the US pop.
They also have the highest numbers in prison. Any correlations forming....
circumcised men are at greater risk for hiv infection.
At least 1 person in 4 will contract an STD at some point in his or her life.
As many as 56 million American adults and adolescents may have an incurable viral STD other than HIV. (read genital warts(HPV), genital herpes, and incurable gonorrhea and syphillis.)
1 million new cases of HPV each year. Most will never know they have it. hehe
here is a breakdown table for infection rates for the US
hiv infection table by ethnicity
you just can't dip and run anymore.
One page stated the likelihood of getting hiv was 1 out of 250 each time you had sex with anyone who has had sex with someone else. scary!!!!
edit: for some reason the likelihood of getting any std increases with the number of partners you and your partner have had. but what about having lots of partners with safe sex? no answer yet, meaning haven't come across it.
Oh yeah did you know that having an std of any kind increases the likelihood of acquiring HIV by 3 to 5 times. this is for people who have herpes, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, genital warts, etc.
here is something about aids infection in prisoners
