Today is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, a day to address the impact of HIV on women and girls. When we reduce HIV stigma and promote testing, prevention, and treatment for women, we can help #StopHIVTogether. https://bit.ly/3HOEx6X #NWGHAAD
The Strategic Leadership Council plans NBHAAD each year.
This observance is an opportunity to increase HIV education, testing, community involvement, and treatment among black communities.
The first National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) was marked in 1999 as a grassroots-education effort to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS prevention, care, and treatment in communities of color.
This World AIDS Day, we remember all those we have lost and all those affected by the virus – and the selfless caregivers, advocates, outreach workers, and loved ones who have helped carry the burden of this crisis. We also rededicate ourselves to reducing HIV infections and related deaths by continuing our vital work toward ending this epidemic once and for all.
