National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day | First observed in 1999, National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) is dedicated to raising awareness about the disproportionate impact of HIV on Black and African American communities and highlighting the importance of community involvement and improved access to HIV education, prevention, testing, and treatment services. This years theme is Engage, Educate, Empower: Uniting to End HIV/AIDS in Black Communities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), national HIV prevention efforts led to a 10 percent decrease in the number of Black or African American people diagnosed with HIV between 2017 and 2021. Despite this decrease, HIV continues to have a disproportionate impact in Black communities. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) HIV research program, coordinated by the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR), supports research to reduce HIV-related disparities based on race and ethnicity.
