National Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day – Henderson Equality Center

May 19 marks National Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NAPIHAAD). This annual awareness day highlights enduring HIV stigma among Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities and advocates for HIV prevention and treatment.

Although HIV rates among API individuals are lower when compared to other racial and ethnic groups, the impacts are still the same. Help combat negative API stereotypes that contribute to their invisibility in strategies to address HIV domestically and the impact of HIV/AIDS on these communities is often overlooked.
