HIV Advocacy
Anytime is the right time to promote HIV prevention and advocacy and there are specific observations recognized throughout the year when it’s especially good to be involved. These include:
- Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (February 7)
- Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (March 10)
- National HIV Testing Day (June 27)
- Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (September 27)
- Latinx HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (October 15)
- World AIDS Day (December 1)
An expanded list of HIV/AIDS Awareness Days is accessible through the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s AIDSinfo site.
In addition to promoting the value of HIV testing, treatment (including PrEP), and safer sex these graphics include a selection focused on the need to face stigma head on through finding their voices, speaking up, and starting the conversation.
More than 1.1 million people in the US are living with HIV, but 1 in 5 don’t know they have the virus. Awareness is an important part of HIV Prevention. https://bit.ly/ASHAHIV #StrongerThanHIV #ISpeakSexHealth
