National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NGMHAAD), observed annually on September 27, raises awareness of the disproportionate impact of the HIV epidemic on gay and bisexual men in the United States.Â

Gay, bisexual, and other men who report male-to-male sexual contact are the population most affected by HIV in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) HIV research program supports research to reduce HIV-related health disparities based on sexual orientation and improve access to HIV services in this population.   Â
