Release all CDC FILES for Public Review
The Issue
The impact of the HIV epidemic in the USA is more seriously among some groups than others. These key affected populations can be grouped by transmission category i.e. men who have sex with men (MSM), but also by race, with people of colour having significantly higher rates of HIV infection over white Americans.
A complex set of economic and socioeconomic factors drive risk to these populations, including a lack of access to care, discrimination, homophobia, stigma and poverty. Sexual networks is also a major determining factor for HIV risk in the USA, with populations at a high risk to HIV tending to have sexual relations with people in their own communities.
Men who have sex with men in the USA
MSM are the group most affected by HIV in the USA, accounting for 68% of all new HIV infections in 2013.The group has seen a rise in new HIV infections between 2009 and 2013 from 28,000 to 31,000.
STD dating websites like Meet Positives, a dating site for people who have HIV and other STDs, have reported a steady increase in HIV impacted members in the last two years, something has to change!
We need the CDC to publicly release its records to show how the African-American community has been impacted by more than just racism in American. Healthcare solutions have failed this community and we need unbiased awareness to help curb this epidemic.
There is a lot of distrust towards the federal government by the African-American community, and we need the public to see how they government hasn't helped the community.
