Black AIDS Institute

Mission Statement

87% of new HIV infections among college students in a recent North Carolina study were Blackâ  87%! HIV/AIDS is devastating Black communities. It is a leading cause of death for African Americans between the ages of 24 and 44. 54% of new HIV infections in the U.S. are African American. 73% of the new HIV cases among women in the U.S. are African American Women (up from 64% a year ago). The mission of the Black AIDS Institute is to turn that around.
