Perceptions of Relative Likelihood of African Americans and Whites to Be Infected with HIV/AIDS

Most Americans are not aware of the disproportionate impact of the HIV epidemic on African Americans; just over a quarter say that African Americans are more likely than whites to be infected with HIV. African Americans themselves (34%) are somewhat more likely than whites (26%) and Latinos (21%) to say that this is true, but still the majority are unaware of the disparities.
