Women of color worldwide are affected by HIV/AIDS at rates far higher than any other race. In the last decade, the incidence of HIV/AIDS in these communities saw a slight decline. In 2016, African American women accounted for 4,560 (61%) of the estimated new HIV infections among all women (CDC, 2018). This is an alarming statistic as African American women over the ages of 18 make up only 13% of the female population, yet account for the majority of new HIV/AIDS cases.
