AIDS,the plague taking over the lives of African Americans in the US

I strongly believe that the United States Government is not doing enough to limit the outbreak of AIDS among African Americans. This pestilence known as AIDS has robbed us African Americans of our moms, dads, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts just to name a few. To date over 225,000 African Americans have died of AIDS, nearly 40%of total death. Of the more than 1 million people living with HIV in the United States of America today, about half are black. What’s even more alarming is that African Americans as a race only represents just 13% of the U.S population. Poverty, lack of access to healthcare and being incarcerated are just three of the many factors that have lead to the rising number of AIDS victims among African American. I believe the Government needs to step up to the plate.
