The Black AIDS Institute (The Institute), formerly known as the African American AIDS Policy Training Institute, is a non-profit charitable organization founded in 1999 by Phill Wilson to promote awareness and prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS. Their motto is "Our People, Our Problem, Our Solution.' == History == While white activists tended to target gay neighborhoods, Wilson decided to target the larger African-American community, since gay black men are "less likely to live in clusters and to seek gay services. In 1985, African-Americans accounted for a quarter of all new reported cases, and in 2001, they accounted for half. The reason for this being that black men are less likely to report that they have slept with another man. In a study done by the Centers for Disease Control in 2000, results show that only a quarter of black men who contracted HIV by having sex with another man considered themselves to be heterosexual, compared to 6% of white men. Wilson believes that AIDS is a black problem more than it is a gay problem. He has been cited as saying that he believes it is the black community's job to fight AIDS because "it is rarely possible for outsiders to come in and solve other peoples problems."〔
