Today, March 10th, is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
In New York City, Black and Latina women are disproportionately affected by HIV. In 2024, Black women represented 52% of new HIV diagnoses among women while making up only 23% of the female population. Latinas represented 39% of new diagnoses, compared to 28% of the population.
And new diagnoses among women have been rising since 2019.
These numbers reflect a systemic problem, not a personal one. Access to testing, prevention, and care has to reach everyone equally.
If you or someone you know wants to get tested, we offer free HIV testing at our NYC office. No appointment needed.
