Research Paper?!

HIV/AIDS Among African American Women ages 25-44
Is there an Epidemic??

I had to post the Title of my Research Paper/Oral Presentation for class.
After doing quite a bit of Research from various journals, I had to choose this topic for my presentation. I was amazed at these startling facts.

AIDS has resulted in more deaths among African American women than any other cause (e.g., heart disease, cancer).

African American women represent the highest percentage (62%) of all reported AIDS cases among women.

Researchers estimate that 240,000 to 325,000 African American women, about 1 in 160, are infected with HIV.

Among African American women, injection drug usage accounts for 44% of all AIDS cases reported since the epidemic began in 1982, with 37% due to heterosexual contact.

Why is this my Research Paper topic.??? I would have never thought that I would be doing research about women of my age and color succumbing to this horrific disease...
