Estimated New HIV Infections among Heterosexuals, 2009, by Gender and Race/Ethnicity: This graph shows that in the US in 2009, an estimated 12,900 new HIV infections occurred among heterosexuals. 3,590 of those were among males and 8,800 among females. Among males by race/ethnicity, 2,400 were among blacks, 640 were among Hispanics and 550 were among whites. Among females by race/ethnicity, 5,400 were among blacks, 1,700 were among Hispanics and 1,700 were among whites. (Note: This chart includes estimates, by gender, for blacks, Hispanics and whites only. Note that the total estimated numbers of HIV infections among heterosexuals includes an additional 510 infections. These represent cases among American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians, Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders, and individuals of multiple races. Specific estimates of HIV incidence in each of these populations could not be reliably estimated due to the relatively small number of HIV infections.)image icon
