SUMMARY:National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day\nNational Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NGMHAAD) aims to increase awareness of the disproportionate impact of the HIV epidemic on gay and bisexual men in the United States and encourage HIV testing\, prevention\, and treatment services in this population. First recognized in 2008 by the National Association of People with AIDS\, the observance also offers an opportunity to address HIV-related stigma. \nGay and bisexual men accounted for 67% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States and dependent areas in 2022\, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Within this population\, disparities persist among Black and African American and Hispanic or Latino gay and bisexual men\, who received more new HIV diagnoses in 2022 than gay and bisexual men in other groups. In addition\, young men aged 13–24 with HIV are more likely to be unaware of their HIV status than men of different age groups. Multiple challenges—such as racism\, discrimination\, and stigma—contribute to these disproportionate impacts.

SUMMARY:National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day\nNational Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) raises awareness of the disproportionate impact of HIV on Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. First recognized in 2003 by the Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA) and the Hispanic Federation\, NLAAD is observed annually on October 15 to coincide with the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month. \nHispanic and Latino communities across the United States are diverse\, representing a variety of education levels\, incomes\, languages\, and cultures. In 2022\, Hispanic and Latino individuals accounted for 32 percent of new HIV diagnoses in the United States\, although they represented 19 percent of the total U.S. population\, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In particular\, those who are recent immigrants\, have completed less formal education\, or have limited English proficiency are disproportionately affected by HIV and may be at a disadvantage when accessing HIV testing\, prevention\, and treatment services. \nReducing HIV-related disparities in Hispanic and Latino communities requires improved access to HIV testing\, prevention\, and treatment services. HIV testing is critical for prevention efforts\, so people who have HIV can access treatment and prevent further HIV transmission. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) HIV research program supports research to better understand and reduce HIV-related health disparities based on race and ethnicity. NIH-supported research also aims to increase access to HIV testing\, prevention\, and treatment services and encourage treatment adherence.
