National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NYHAAD) is observed annually on April 10. NYHAAD increases awareness, generates conversations, and spotlights the work being done to reduce HIV among young people.
You can raise awareness of HIV among young people and provide information on stigma, prevention, testing, and care using CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign resources.
Let’s Stop HIV Together aims to empower communities, collaborators, and healthcare providers to reduce HIV stigma and promote prevention, testing, and treatment among all people in the United States. With campaign resources, 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. (EHE) initiative.
The North Carolina Ending the Epidemic (ETE) Plan consists of three pillars: Engage and Embrace, Test and Treat, and Policy and Promotion. Each pillar has strategies, action steps and approaches to address stigma. The electronic version of the plan is available in English and Spanish.
Share the social media posts below to help raise awareness of HIV, address stigma and other barriers to care, and encourage young Americans to get tested and know their status. Don’t forget to use the following hashtags with the sample social media messages below to spark conversations about HIV and highlight progress being made to reduce HIV among youth in the United States.
Hashtags: Use #NYHAAD, #NYHAAD2023, and #StopHIVTogether on April 10 and the days leading up to National
Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day!
