I am estimating that around 1 in 300 people in the US has HIV or AIDS. Does that sound right to you? Does anyone know for a fact, or have a different estimate?

I do not know that for a fact, but these days I would have thought it was much lower. Why don't you telephone an STD clinic at your local hospital and obtain a verifiable figure and the reference source? Best wishes.

You are looking for a statistic called "prevalence." Prevalence refers to the number or proportion of cases existing within a population. The CDC compiles data and issues HIV statistics on a regular basis http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/factsheets/prevalence.htm According to them, 1.1 million people in the US were living with HIV in 2006. Given that 300 million people live in the US, you'd be right: about 1 in 300 people inthe US are living with HIV.
