The following numbers are old, and they're all pretty much guesswork anyway, so take them with a grain of salt.  But I venture to say most people in the field would agree with my conclusions.\n\nAccording to a report by researchers Norman Hearst and Stephen Hulley in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the odds of a heterosexual becoming infected with AIDS after one episode of penile-vaginal intercourse with someone in a non-high-risk group without a condom are one in 5 million. With a condom it's even safer--one in 50 million. Just to put this in perspective, the chances of someone in your family getting injured next year in a bubble bath are 1 in 1.3 million (source: The Odds on Virtually Everything, Heron House, 1980). You're in much greater danger of being struck by lightning (1 in 600,000), having your house bombed (1 in 290,000), or being murdered (1 in 11,000).\n\nThe numbers get a lot worse if you engage in "high-risk behavior"--having sexual intercourse or sharing needles with a member of a high-risk group, e.g., a gay or bisexual male or IV drug user from a major metro area, or a hemophiliac. The chances of getting AIDS from one such encounter range as high as 1 in 10,000 using a condom to 1 in 1,000 unprotected. Even if your partner tests negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the chances of infection from a high-risk person are still relatively high--1 in 50,000 without a condom. That's because there's a 45 to 90 day window during which a newly infected person can infect others but test negative. (A few people go as long as 180 days.)\n\nFrom there on out, statistically speaking, things deteriorate pretty fast. If your partner is HIV-positive, your chances of getting AIDS after one night are 1 in 5,000 with a condom, 1 in 500 without. Have sex with an HIV-positive partner 500 times using condoms and your chances escalate to 1 in 11. Skip the gift wrap and they're 2 in 3.\n\nA couple points: These odds apply equally to men and women. Although there's reason to believe male-to-female AIDS transmission happens more often than female-to-male, the amount of difference is unknown. Also, I have to emphasize again, the numbers involve a lot of guesswork. The authors admit they could be off by a factor of ten in either direction. Still, one message comes through loud and clear: by far the best thing you can do to avoid AIDS is to be picky about your partners. Use of condoms reduces your risk by a factor of 10, sleeping only with people who test negative reduces it by a factor of 5 to 50, but avoiding high-risk partners reduces it by a factor of 5,000. (You'd also be well advised to avoid high-risk behavior, such as unprotected receptive anal sex.) Asking for a resume may not be romantic, but it beats Kaposi's sarcoma.

United States: The CDC estimates that in 1999 between 800,000 and 900,000 people were living with HIV or AIDS. Through December 2000, a total of 774,467 cases of AIDS had been reported to the CDC.\n\nWorldwide: Based on estimates from the United Nations AIDS program (UNAIDS), approximately 60 million people have been infected with HIV since the start of the global epidemic. At the end of 2001, an estimated 40 million people were living with HIV infection or AIDS.\n\nUNAIDS estimates 5.0 million new HIV infections occurred in 2001. This represents about 14,000 new cases per day. An estimated 3.0 million adults and children died of HIV/AIDS in 2001.

There are currently drugs available that enabled a HIV positive person to live a normal life span. The treatment is not cheap, but for someone living in the US, HIV is not a death sentence anymore. \n\nThere are also studies underway that indicate that certain combination of those drugs prevent the user from getting HIV, similar to Malaria prevention drugs. Those studies look very positive, but a prevention is not a cure. \n\nTo completely eradicate the HIV disease, a vaccine would be required and that still seems to be some time in the future.

Blacks are incarcerated at a rate that is more than 6 times that of whites for the same crime. In total, between 1980 and 1999, the incarceration rate for Blacks more than tripled from 1156 per 100,000, to 3,620 per 100,000. This is more than 4 times the rate of incarceration of Blacks in South Africa during the apartheid era.The rate of imprisonment for Black women is more than 8 times that of white women for the same crime.The Black male homicide rate is 7 times the white male rate. Black women are 18 times more likely to be raped than white women. The death penalty has been imposed in 682 capital cases since 1995. The U.S. attorney recommended the death penalty in 183 of them-of those cases 26% involved white defendants, 74% "minority." Blacks make up 40% of the death row population. Black men are get jail time 3 times greater than that of white for the same crime.Blacks account for 30% of people with AIDS in America. 54% of children under age 13 with AIDS are Black. HIV/AIDS is the number 1 cause of death for Blacks aged 25 to 44.\nIn recent years, the estimated incidence of HIV/AIDS has declined for every race except Blacks. In 1997, four times as many Latinos and eight times as many Blacks as whites contracted AIDS. Whites with HIV are far more likely to receive advanced drug therapy-a trend that slowed the white death rate from AIDS by 28% from 1995 to 1996, but by only 10% for Blacks. Blacks account for 57% of new infections of HIV and by the year 2005, African Americans will account for 60% of AIDS cases.Whites are two-thirds more likely to receive kidney transplants than others.The Justice Department estimates that one out of every 21 Black men can expect to be murdered, a death rate double that of U. S. soldiers in World War II. A young Black male in America is more likely to die from gun fire than was any soldier in Vietnam.White males with a high-school diploma are just as likely to have a job, and tend to earn just as much as Black males with college degrees. Light-skinned Blacks have a 50% better chance of getting a job than dark-skinned Blacks. Blacks are rejected twice as often for small business loans than whites of comparable credit.

He doesn't remember, but it was with a woman.  He's had HIV for over 10 years.\n\nHe basically dipped his stick into too many skanks....

as a person that is HIV+ please listen to this... its not 6 months anymore. The CDC recommends 13 weeks but the ELISA and Western Blot test can detect the virus much sooner. Until you find out your results please make sure that you are protecting not only yourself but the ones whom you engage in relations with. And as far as Post Exposure Prophalaxis is concerned it hasn't been proven to be 100 % effective and generally is done with rape victims only.

Dr. David Ho and colleagues from the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York told a conference they traced the very first case of HIV infection to a man, David Carr, living in what was then the Belgian Congo in 1959.   \n\nThese scientists believe the HIV virus crossed over from ape polulations to humans in the late 40's or early 50's based on the fact that it must have been present for that long in order for someone to be sick with AIDS in 1959.  Other early HIV infections are the following:\nHIV found in tissue samples from an American teenager who died in St. Louis in 1969. \nMost scientists estimate that the disease developed in Africa around 1930.\nHIV found in tissue samples from a Norwegian sailor who died around 1976.\n\nThere is another interesting theory out there with some intriguing evidence is that HIV was accidentally introduced to Africa through administration of polio vaccine that was contaminated with HIV from the chimpanzee organs used to make the polio vaccine.  This is a VERY controversial theory since it implies that Western Medicine gave AIDS to Africa.  Here's a summary of the evidence:Overview of the theory\nOne theory of the origin of AIDS is that it developed from contaminated vaccines used in the world's first mass immunisation for polio. There are a number of reasons why this theory is plausible enough to be worthy of further investigation.\n\nThe location coincides dramatically. The earliest known cases of AIDS occurred in central Africa, in the same regions where Koprowski's polio vaccine was given to over a million people in 1957-1960. \nThe timing coincides. There is no documented case of HIV infection or AIDS before 1959. Centuries of the slave trade and European exploitation of Africa exposed Africans and others to all other diseases then known; it is implausible that HIV could have been present and spreading in Africa without being recognised. \nPolio vaccines are grown (cultured) on monkey kidneys which could have been contaminated by SIVs. Polio vaccines could not be screened for SIV contamination before 1985. \nAnother monkey virus, SV-40, is known to have been passed to humans through polio vaccines. A specific pool of Koprowski's vaccine was later shown to have been contaminated by an unknown virus. \nIn order for a virus to infect a different species, it is helpful to reduce the resistance of the new host's immune system. Koprowski's polio vaccine was given to many children less than one month old, before their immune systems were fully developed. Indeed, in one trial, infants were given 15 times the standard dose in order to ensure effective immunisation. \n\nIf this theory is correct, it has serious ethical, health and policy implications. In particular, it points to the danger of interspecies transfer of material through vaccinations, organ transplants, etc., which could lead to new variants of AIDS as well as other new diseases. As well, studying the theory may lead to insights about responding to AIDS and preventing new diseases.\n\nHowever, there has been no sustained attempt to test the theory. This could be done, for example, by testing stocks of polio vaccine for the presence of SIV. An offer to undertake tests was made as early as 1991; only in 2000 were some samples tested, and then only US-made vaccine. Another possibility would be to test stored blood samples in Africa from before 1950. If HIV is found, this would undermine the theory.\n\nThere was a documentary made that details this theory too called "The Origin of AIDS" by Peter Chappell

In 1990,thats a tough one.It has to do with ratios.How many bars of soap per inmate and how many were dropped.Why would you ask such a STUPID question like this one.I would find something else as a subject to research on.

There are a number of factors that are resulting in greater HIV incidence in black women in AMERICA (when you ask questions like these, you should specify location).\n\nFirst, let's look at black MALE behaviors that lead to HIV.\n\nDrugs are a major problem in urban America. People who inject drugs raise their risk of HIV because they tend to use dirty needles or they share needles with friends. Some people inject crack, heroin, STEROIDS, and other drugs. If they don't use clean needles, they run high risk of getting HIV.\n\nMany black men are in prison. Prisons are a breeding ground for HIV. Whether the idea is pleasant to you or not, it;s true that nonviolent offenders are mixed in with violent offenders, and the violent ones do terrible things liek RAPE other inmantes. This is how a fair number of black men get HIV. Ashamed of what has happened to them, they hide what happened and never get tested. Then they might go home and wind up giving HIV to their girlfriends or wives.\n\nOkay, then what about promiscuity. Yes, there is a problem with HIV among people who have multiple partners. Of course, prostitution is a problem in many urban communities, but that's not a huge part of the peidemic. Understand that multiple partners doesn't just mean having a lot of partners all at once, it also means having several (more than 1) boyfriends or girlfriends in a year. The more partners you have, the greater risk you run. In black american communities, marriage is often NOT a priority. Yeah, I know marriage does not guarantee fidelity and monogamy, but it helps. However, there is a cultural element that rejects all notions of "white" behavior. Some black American perceive marriage to be a white cultural phenomenon (not true, and that needs addressing). But without stable marriages and long term partnerships, people will tend to have more sexual partners.\n\nThen there's "the down low." Because black America tends to be fairly homophobic, a lot of black men who want to have sex with other men do not declare themselves to be gay. Instead, they will have female partners, but secretly engage in sex (often anonymously) with other men. It is no secret that there is a greater prevalence of HIV in the gay community. If a black man on the down low picks up HIV during gay sex, then he winds up bringing it home to his girlfriend. Then, SHE gets HIV. this is definitely a growing trend and growing problem because the median income for black Americans is substantially lower than white Americans. Poverty means it's harder to get treatment. Without treatment, HIV rapidly progresses to AIDS and death.\n\nAnd those are big reasons why black American women are disproportionately affected by HIV.

A boy named Ryan White believed if he could keep going for 5 years there would be a cure for HIV. The world lost a great person on April 8,1990. Yes, in 5 years.

I think its pretty messed up since half of all the inmates are drug users or dealers.Thats why every prison in the u.s. is so overpopulated.I'd rather have a drug dealer living next door than a sick a**child molestor living down the street just because of overcrowding.

You can detailed prison population numbers from the web site of The Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics.\n\nThe site is often busy so it might take a while.
