From the CDC...

In 2005, HIV disease was the third leading cause of death for black women aged 25-44 years, and the fourth leading cause of death for black women aged 45-54 years. Among all women, HIV disease mortality increased between 1987-1995, then decreased until 1998. From 1998-2005, HIV disease mortality for black women aged 25-44 years increased to 20.7 deaths per 100,000 population, and to 27.9 per 100,000 among black women aged 45-54.
