Coordinated by the Strategic Leadership Council, National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is observed each year on February 7 to increase HIV education, testing, community involvement, and treatment among black communities. This year’s NBHAAD theme, “Together for Love: Stop HIV Stigma”, highlights the messages of the Act Against AIDS, Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign. Let’s Stop HIV Together raises awareness that we all have a role to play in stopping HIV stigma. Partners and organizations can use the “Together for Love: Stop HIV Stigma” theme as an anchor phrase to highlight ways to reduce HIV stigma within the black community. Instagram: We’re joining “Together for Love,” because, when we do, we stop HIV stigma and help empower people to get tested and seek treatment. #NBHAAD #HIV #HIVStigma #StopHIVStigma Instagram Graphic (1200x1200px) CDC-BlackHIV-friends-1200x1200.jpg
