NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials say they see signs that new HIV infections in gay black men may finally be leveling off.
New figures released Dec. 6 show that the number of newly diagnosed cases in gay and bisexual black men hasn’t moved up much since 2010 – less than 1 percent.
The group accounts for about 10,000 of the 40,000 new cases diagnosed last year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention presented the numbers at a conference in Atlanta on Dec. 6.
HIV diagnoses have been declining in many groups, including gay and bisexual white men, heterosexuals and people who inject drugs.
