HONOLULU - April 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Denver, CO, and Honolulu, HI - Outskirts Press, Inc. has published AIDS Crises among African-Americans: CDC reports HIV/AIDS for African-American Men are 70% of New Infections by Dr. Eloise V. Lewis.  The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the education category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/aidscrisesamongafricanamericans was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

In 2008, an estimated 33.4 million people around the world had HIV and AIDS, with 2.7 million newly infected.  And while African-Americans comprise only 13% of the U.S. population, they also make up 49% of newly diagnosed cases of HIV in the United States.

The epidemiology of HIV has skyrocketed for African-American adolescents and men—to the tune of 70% of 20,900 new infections—and most efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in America have been unsuccessful in significantly impacting the infection rate among black adolescents and men, thus taking a terrible toll on this segment of the population.

Author Lewis covers:

• How are people protecting their sexual health?

• Do African-Americans trust the medical community?

• Is there a perception of genocide conspiracy?

• Are people misinformed about how HIV is transmitted?

• Is the fear of being labeled homosexual preventing black men from seeking care and screening for HIV status?

AIDS Crises Among African-Americans delves into these issues and offers interesting new perspectives on the missing pieces that may be preventing the epidemiology of HIV for black adolescents and men from decreasing.

214 pages in length, AIDS Crises among African-Americans: CDC reports HIV/AIDS for African-American Men are 70% of New Infections is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the education category.  With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, AIDS Crises among African-Americans meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $15.95.

Additionally, AIDS Crises among African-Americans can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
