Between 2008-2011, African Americans accounted for:
The estimated lifetime risk of becoming infected with HIV is 1 in 16 for African American men, and 1 in 32 for African American women, a far higher risk than for people of other ethnic backgrounds or races. The rate (per 100,000 population) of new HIV infections is 8 times larger among the African American community, than that among white people, based on population size. 3
- 64 percent of all HIV infections among women
- 67 percent of all HIV infections among children below 13 years old
- 42 percent of all HIV infections among adolescent and adult males
- 64 percent of all HIV infections among adolescent and adult females. 2
Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic in the 1980s, over half of people who have died of AIDS-related illnesses were African American. 4

Across the world, men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV. This is also true among the African American population. Of all HIV infections in 2011 among male African Americans, 72 percent were transmitted via sex between men.
When comparing MSM infections between ethnic groups, African Americans accounted for 39 percent of MSM HIV infections in 2011, compared to 34 percent among whites. This difference does not seem too striking, until the huge population difference between African American MSM and white MSM is considered - 2 percent of the USA population are MSM, and only 12 percent of the population are African American
Of all population groups in the USA, young African American MSM (between the ages of 13 and 24) are the most affected by the HIV epidemic..

Like I said before you even posted your links. 70+% of AAs with HIV are men who have sex with men. If you knew how to read a study, you'd know the link you posted says the same. If you could read the study like anyone with a brain, the HIV epidemic with AAs is mainly driven by men who have sex with men, then likely having sex with women.
Conspicuously absent from that link you posted, is heterosexual African American males. To reiterate what I was saying, if you're a heterosexual male it is extremely difficult to contract HIV from insiertive vaginal intercourse.
