National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 2025
Together, let us work toward a future where ACB individuals living with or affected by HIV can access the care, support, and respect they deserve. By addressing systemic anti-Black racism, we can make significant progress toward 95-95-95 goals and the ultimate objective of getting to zero new infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths. Every action we take brings us closer to ending the HIV epidemic and fostering thriving, equitable communities.
