- Abstract
The article offers an overview of the results of a survey of heterosexuals in selected metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the U.S. with a high prevalence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) from 2006 to 2007. The survey was conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) using the National Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS). A total of 2.0% of 14,837 heterosexuals surveyed were infected with HIV. Heterosexuals with lower socioeconomic status (SES) had higher HIV prevalence. The possible role that poverty-related factors play in racial/ethnic disparities in the prevalence of HIV is discussed.
