February 7 marks National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, a moment to recognize the continued, disproportionate impact of HIV on Black communities across the U.S.

In 2023, Black people accounted for 38% of new HIV diagnoses and 39% of people living with HIV, despite representing just 12% of the U.S. population. Among adolescents and young adults, nearly half of all new diagnoses occurred in Black individuals, underscoring the urgency of sustained, focused action.

This day is a vital reminder to:
🔬 Get Educated on the facts about HIV prevention, treatment, and U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable).
🧪 Get Tested to know your status.
✊🏾 Get Involved in the fight to end stigma and health disparities.
💊 Get Treatment because care is essential to living and thriving.

We are committed to fostering a community of support, compassion, and equitable access to care for everyone in New Jersey. Your health matters. Your story matters. You are not alone

October 15 is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD). NLAAD was first observed in 2003 by the Hispanic Federation and the Latino Commission on AIDSExit Disclaimer (LCOA). NLAAD is an opportunity to help address the disproportionate impact of HIV in Hispanic/Latinx communities, promote HIV testing, and stop HIV stigma.

This observance is also a community mobilization effort that helps promote effective ways to prevent, treat, and stop the transmission of HIV among Hispanic/Latinx people.

Today we recognize National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day. 👵🏾👴🏻👨🏽‍🦳

It's a crucial time to talk about a fact many don't realize: a growing number of older adults are living with HIV. Thanks to effective treatment, people with HIV are living long, healthy lives, but this brings unique challenges that we must address.

We must focus on:
✅Prevention & Testing: Age is not a protection. HIV prevention and regular testing are vital at every age. Let's break the silence and ensure older adults have the information and resources they need.
✅Access to Healthcare: Older adults with HIV often face complex health needs, managing both HIV and age-related conditions. We must advocate for integrated, age-friendly, and quality healthcare for all.
✅Ending Stigma: The double stigma of aging and HIV can lead to isolation and poor mental health. It's time to replace judgment with compassion, support, and understanding.

Let's champion the health and dignity of older adults in our communities. Share this post to spread awareness! ❤️
