More than 688,000 Americans have been diagnosed with AIDS since 1981, and more than 400,000 have died. HIV infects people of all ages — more than 40,000 in the United States every year. In the United States, the highest percentage of AIDS cases is in those between ages 24 and 44, the most sexually active age group. About 80% of all U.S. AIDS cases since 1981 have been men, although cases among women are increasing at a faster rate. The proportion of new cases among people of color is also increasing dramatically.
