Heightened National Response (HNR)
In March 2007, CDC and African American leaders across the country came together
to coordinate
A Heightened National Response (HNR) to the HIV/AIDS Crisis among African
Americans – a combined response by all leaders where
African Americans live, work, play, worship and learn. This response
is vital to reduce the devastating toll of HIV/AIDS on black communities and
families in this country. Although African Americans make up less than
13% of the U.S. population, they account for almost 50% of new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. Overall,
black men, including African Americans, are more affected by HIV/AIDS than
are women; however, data indicate that black women are also infected at epidemic
rates. To learn more about on-going activities nationwide related to
HNR and HIV/AIDS prevention among African Americans, visit http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/aa.
