Gay black and Latin men are at strikingly higher risk to be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime than white men who have sex with men, part of a sobering reality of how the virus impacts gay men based on their race.
Among men who have sex with men, 1 in 2 black men and 1 in 4 Latino men will be diagnosed with HIV during their life – compared to 1 in 11 for white men who have sex with men, according to a new analysis from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Overall, 1 in 6 men who have sex with men will be diagnosed with HIV in the lifetime.

Based on the research why is this the case?
Is it genetics, would that make HIV racist?
Is it based on poverty issues etc?
