HIV among Hispanics/Latinos
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/hispanics/index.h
While Hispanic/Latino women represented a quarter (24%) of new infections among Hispanics/Latinos in 2006, their rate of HIV infection was nearly four times that of white women (14.4/100,000 vs. 3.8/100,000).
The presence of certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can significantly increase one’s chances of contracting HIV infection. A person who has both HIV infection and certain STDs has a greater chance of infecting others with HIV. The rates of STDs remain high among Hispanics/Latinos.
