Research Shows Black People Have More HIV Cases But Are Least Likely To Receive Medical Treatment

A new study shows Black people have the most new cases of HIV in America but are least likely to get treatment for the disease. According to NOLA reports:
Black men and women accounted for most of new HIV cases in 2013. Yet they received the least amount of medical care, according to a new report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study looked at 9,824 adults who were diagnosed with HIV in 2010 and were alive three years later. Out of that population, 54 percent were black, 24 percent white and 17 percent Hispanic.
The medical care received by each group was similarly imbalanced.
