HIV/AIDS and Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders

While Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (NHOPI) represent 0.3% of the total population in the United States, the AIDS case rate for NHOPI was twice that of the White population in 2007.
The total number or reported AIDS cases has declined over the past five years for the White population, however it has continued to increase in the Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander populations.
