Even white males have aggression issues dealing with black males. Women tend to fold since they lack anything, other than firearms, on controlling more powerful males.

Here are some cold hard numbers from the National Institute of Health in a 2005 article. From my reading the numbers are still this bad.

African Americans in the United States are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, with the rate of AIDS for African Americans nine times that of Whites.
[…]
While African Americans make up only 13% of the U.S. population, they represent 39% of all AIDS cases reported in the U.S. through 2002.

The article suggests that some of the racial disparity is due to high rates of blacks incarceration in prisons which are STD factories.

Makes sense to me. People go on about microagressions but the fate of those imprisoned is a horror and one of the true shames of America.

On the higher rates of HIV among black people:

While male-to-male sexual contact accounts for the largest share of HIV cases among both Blacks and whites, fewer Blacks are infected this way and heterosexual sex plays a bigger role among Blacks compared with whites. Among Blacks, 58% of new HIV diagnoses in 2015 were attributable to male-to-male sexual contact and 34% were attributable to heterosexual sex; among whites, 72% of new HIV diagnoses in 2015 were attributable to male-to-male sexual contact and 13% were attributable to heterosexual sex. The remainder of HIV diagnoses in each group were attributable to other causes, including injection drug use.
HIV transmission patterns among Black men vary from those of white men as well. Although both groups are most likely to have been infected through sex with other men, white men are more likely to have been infected this way. Heterosexual transmission accounts for a greater share of new diagnoses among Black men than white men.
Black women are most likely to have been infected through heterosexual transmission, the most common transmission route for women overall. White women are more likely to have been infected through injection drug use than Black women.

In addition, higher rates of VD in the black population are part of the picture. There seems to be a higher rate of heterosexual transmission among black people. Is it because of higher rates of concomitant VD or other infections? It might be. I’ve also read that there is a much higher rate of heterosexual transmission in sub-saharan Africa, and of the disease as a whole. This genetic quirk might be part of the reason, and I would imagine a great many American blacks share the mutation:

Nearly all Africans carry a mutation near the DARC gene that prevents its expression. “It’s a tradeoff,” says Robin Weiss, an HIV researcher at University College London and part of the team that has found the new HIV link. “This genetic factor that has made sub-Saharan Africans resistant to vivax malaria is also making them more susceptible to HIV.”

There are probably a lot of reasons for the higher rate.

Yes, I think you missed several things.

My post discusses how the change in HIV rates vary in gay people between ethnic groups, as well as containing links to the fact that blacks are the ethnic groups with the highest rates. You didn’t link to where you found that 50% figure, but since it is similar to figures in articles I already linked to that said that 44% of new HIV diagnoses in the US are in the black population, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if that 50% figure was accurate. The high rate of HIV in black people is obvious in the map, and was explicitly discussed in the links. I was focusing on other issues—particularly, recent changes in rates—but the racial distribution is quite obvious and undisputed.

My point in my comment to you was about a completely different statistic, the percentage of blacks who are gay versus the percentage of whites who are gay. I don’t think that the large and disproportionate prevalence of blacks among HIV-positive people is necessarily explained by the fact that a slightly higher percentage of black people than white people declare themselves to be LGBT, because it’s possible some of those people are lesbians (who are not really a vector for HIV at all), and because the much higher proportion of black people among the HIV-population is much larger than the difference in reported homosexuality among black people. That was what I was getting at.

did i miss something or did you completely ignore the 50% infection rate?

Here are the most recent figures on that. I can’t seem to find the full report, but from the summary I just linked you can see that slightly more black people than white people identify as LGBT (lesbian or gay or bisexual or transgendered). It also says that the rates of LGBT identification are even higher in Hispanics and Asians than in black people.

And yet HIV rates are not higher in those latter two populations.

What’s more, the study said that more women than men identified as LGBT in their survey. That would indicate that it’s possible that the higher black figures (or higher Hispanic or higher Asian figures) might reflect higher levels of lesbianism in those groups, rather than higher levels of gay men. The numbers weren’t broken down in such a way that we would know, however. So I don’t see how to come to any conclusions about it vis a vis the incidence of HIV infection.
