"CDC: Gay Men Represent 2 Percent Of US Population, 52 Percent Of People With HIV"
The CBSlocal website in Atlanta posted the story behind this:
"Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) make up 2 percent of the U.S. population but are the group most definitively affected by HIV, with 63 percent of those newly infected by HIV representing this group. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly 'Morbidity and Mortality' report shows that among persons newly infected with HIV in 2010, 63 percent were men who have sex with other men. Among Americans living with HIV, 52 percent were MSM – and a significant number of men with HIV are not receiving treatment."
