In 2006, in an open-ended question about which groups of people are most likely to be infected with HIV/AIDS, the group named most often by the public was gay men (43%), followed by drug users (33%), teens and young people (21%), and promiscuous people or those who have casual sex (17%). Despite the fact that approximately half of new AIDS diagnoses in the U.S. are among African Americans, just 12% named African Americans in this open-ended question.
