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.
National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is February 7 and is a day to address the impact of HIV on Black communities. When we work to overcome structural barriers to HIV testing, prevention, and treatment, we can #StopHIVTogether. https://bit.ly/3GkAgra #NBHAAD
