National Transgender HIV Testing Day
April 18
National Transgender HIV Testing Day
April 18 is the observance of the inaugural National Transgender HIV Testing Day (NTHTD).
NTHTD is a day to recognize the importance of routine HIV testing, status awareness and continued focus on HIV prevention and treatment efforts among transgender and gender non-binary people. The initiative encourages community-based organizations, health jurisdictions and HIV prevention programs to host local transgender HIV testing community events and/or develop trans-specific HIV testing campaign materials and resources.
This day is sponsored by the Center of Excellence for Transgender Health (a Centers for Disease Control capacity building assistance provider network partner).
