February 7 is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, a day to acknowledge progress in HIV prevention and care among Black/African American people while recognizing the work still needed. To Stop HIV Together, we must address HIV stigma and barriers.
The first National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) was marked in 1999 as a grassroots-education effort to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS prevention, care, and treatment in communities of color.
Dr. James Simmons - Clinical Ambassador for CDC’s HIV Prevention Programs and the Advisory Board member for the LGBTQIA+ HIV activist health organization APAIT, joins The Morning Beat to continue the conversation.
