HIV increased 48% in young black gays from 2006-2009


If you doubt the dangers of the homosexual lifestyle, check out the statistics compiled by the Centers for Disease Control.

By the end of 2009, more than 592,000 MSM [men who have sex with men] were living with HIV infection, 52% of persons living with HIV infection in the United States (1). 
Although MSM represent approximately 2% of the U.S. population (2), in 2009, they accounted for 64% of all new HIV infections (including MSM who also were injection drug users [3% of new infections]). During 2006–2009, the estimated number of new HIV infections among MSM was stable overall, but increased approximately 34% among MSM aged 13–29 years, and approximately 48% in black or African American MSM in that age group. In 2009, approximately 22% of new infections among MSM were among young black or African American MSM, the highest number of new infections among any age or race/ethnicity group of MSM (3).

Courage offers a healthier alternative.
