In 2000, the rate of reported AIDS cases among African Americans was 8 times the rate for whites. African Americans represent 12% of the US population, yet they make up over half of the new HIV infections. Almost two-thirds of all women reported with AIDS were African American, and their children make up two-thirds of new pediatric AIDS cases.

African American and Hispanic women together represent less than one-quarter of all US women, yet they account for more than three-quarters of AIDS cases among women. Hispanics who represent 13% of the population account for 19% of new AIDS cases. Although African Americans and Hispanics combined represent about one-quarter of the US population, they account for over two-thirds of new HIV infections.

Are proportionately fewer public health dollars spent in black neighborhoods?

Again, despite the increased risk in these populations, men who have sex with men and injection drug users still represent the largest proportion of new HIV infections. See http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/stats/hasr1302.
