The Criminalization of HIV: Should you be required to disclosed your status?

Season 2: Premier

So, why doesn’t this encouraging picture of HIV apply everywhere? Or everyone? According to the Centers for Disease Control, African Americans accounted for 44% of HIV diagnoses in 2016, despite comprising only 12% of the population. And the disproportion seems to be growing. That year, HIV diagnoses among African American gay and bisexual men aged 25 to 34 increased 30%. If you are a young gay black man in America, you have a one in two chance of contracting the virus – compared with a one in 11 chance if you are a white gay man.
