HIV Vaccine Awareness Day
May 18, 2008
This awareness day is meant to provide a great opportunity to thank the thousands of people who are working to help find an HIV preventive vaccine—the clinical trial volunteers, nurses, community educators/recruiters, and the researchers.
To learn why thousands of individuals across the country will be wearing their red AIDS ribbons upside down on May 18, and what you can do to participate in Vaccine Awareness Day (HVAD), visit the HVAD Web site and Be the Generation. These sites contain fact sheets, statistics, talking points, and media tools and allows you to view HVAD bilingual print ads and listen to bilingual radio spots.
All Americans, especially communities of color and men who have sex with men, need to learn more about HIV vaccine research. Be part of making an HIV vaccine a reality.

May 19 is the National Asian and Pacific Islander (API) HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. This awareness day intends to raise awareness among Asians and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. about the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), today there are an estimated 1.039 million to 1.185 million HIV-positive individuals living in the U.S. AIDS has killed more than 20 million people since the first cases were diagnosed in 1981. For APIs, one of the fastest-growing ethnic/racial populations in the U.S., HIV/AIDS is on the rise. According to the CDC, the number of APIs living with AIDS has climbed by more than 10 percent in each of the last 5 years. The number of adult and adolescent APIs diagnosed with AIDS through 2004 was 7,317.
This awareness day is part of the Banyan Tree Project (a national campaign to fight HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination in A&PI communities). For more information, please visit www.banyantreeproject.org.

National HIV Testing Day
June 27, 2008
An estimated 250,000 people in the United States are HIV/AIDS positive and don't even know it.
An opportunity for people nationwide to learn their HIV status, and to gain the knowledge they need to take control of their health and their lives. National HIV Testing Day also provides an invaluable opportunity to dispel the myths and stigma associated with HIV testing, and to reach those who have never been tested or who have engaged in high-risk behavior since their last test. HIV testing can reduce new infections when HIV-positive persons become aware of their status and take the necessary precautions to stop spreading the disease. HIV testing is easier, more accessible, and less invasive than ever.
