Men
In 2007, the largest estimated proportion of HIV/AIDS diagnoses among adults and adolescents were men who have sex with men (MSM). This category accounted for 53 percent of the overall diagnoses and 71 percent among men. 1
However, MSM are not alone in their risk; high-risk heterosexual contact accounted for 14 percent of HIV/AIDS diagnoses among male adults and adolescents in 2007, and injection drug use accounted for 10 percent. 1
