The priliminary results of an ongoing survey presented at the 8th annual retrovirus conference this week suggests a resurgence of HIV among young gay and bisexual men, especially among african americans.
23-29 year old men were surveyed, and tested for HIV, in 6 major US cities. The overall results show 12.3% tested positive of whom only 29% knew they were infected before the survey. Of the African-Americans 30% were HIV positive in contrast to 15% among Hispanics, only 7% among whites and 3% among Asians.
The researchers concluded that "These findings underscore the need to develop, evaluate, and intensify prevention efforts for young men who have sex with men, particularly African Americans."
