One in every 92 young American men may be battling the AIDS virus.
That's according to this week's journal "Science," which has the most
precise estimates yet of the epidemic's toll.
The numbers show minorities are especially hard hit.
One of every 33 black men and one of every 60 Hispanic men between the

That compares to one of every 139 young white men.
The study's author says if the trend continues, ``the threat of
