Black Aids Day

The main goal of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is to encourage African Americans to get tested and know their HIV status, get educated about the spread of HIV/AIDS; get involved in their local community, and get treated if they are currently living with HIV.

Everyday, 72 African Americans are infected with HIV in the U.S.

AIDS is the No. 1 killer for African American females ages 25 to 44, and the second leading cause of death for African American males ages 35 to 44. [x]
