Get Involved

You can raise awareness of HIV testing, address stigma and other barriers that prevent access to care, and encourage people to get tested and know their status using Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign resources.

The Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign is part of the national Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative and the North Carolina Ending the HIV Epidemic Plan.
