This shows how many are infected with AIDs as of 2007. Different ethnicity groups and through male to male sexual contact, injection drug use, ect...
What this data shows is how much AIDs is spread through male homosexual activity and how big of an epedemic it is in African/black ethnic groups. Its also shows how large AIDs is in white and Hispanic/Latino ethic groups. The white group is almost as big as the African group.
Also it is crazy that 75% of HIV infected people are men.
I believe this data is reliable, avert.org is a very reliable source. And I believe it is complete.
It shows a clear picture of what ethnic groups are most infected with HIV and how they are effected by it the most.
