- Seattle RARE Project: Rapid Assessment, Response and Evaluation
In Seattle-King County, as in the U.S. as a whole, epidemiological data indicate that HIV and AIDS are disproportionately affecting African Americans and foreign-born Black immigrants (hereafter referred to as Blacks). Overall, the percent of HIV/AIDS cases among people of color has risen steadily since the early years of the epidemic in King County, going from 13% of cases in 1984-86 to 26% in 1993-95 and 35% in 1999-2001.
