Blacks, African Americans Account For 40-Percent Of U.S. HIV-AIDS Cases

(Atlanta, GA) -- Today is National Black HIV-AIDS Awareness Day and the statistics tell an alarming story. The CDC says while Blacks and AfricanAmericans make up 13-percent of the U.S. population, they account for 40-percent of those with HIV. Dr. Laura Cheever, AIDS expert at the Health Resources and Services Administration, estimates a quarter-million people know they have HIV in America and aren’t seeking regular medical care. She also says many Black and African-American clients aren’t taking advantage of prevention options because of stigma and fear.

If adopted, the new standards would limit added sugars and gradually reduce weekly sodium limits. The new limits would be implemented in stages through 2029. The USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service will start taking public comments on the proposal February 7th.
