National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day (NHAAD) is observed annually on September 18. NHAAD brings attention to issues related to HIV among older Americans, including new infections among older adults and adults over 50 aging with HIV.
You can raise awareness of HIV, address stigma and other barriers that prevent access to care, and encourage adults over 50 to get tested and know their status using Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign resources.

With campaign resources in English and Spanish, you can play a role in preventing HIV and helping people with HIV stay healthy. The Let's Stop HIV Together campaign is part of the national Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative.
