National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day – September 27th
| This day is observed each year on September 27th to raise awareness of the disproportionate effect HIV/AIDS has on gay and bi-sexual men. Some of the goals for this day are to 1) raise awareness about HIV/AIDS among gay men, 2) encourage HIV testing, early diagnosis and linkage to care, and 3) promote a better understanding of the complex factors that drive HIV transmission among gay men. One of the most important steps in preventing HIV is to get tested and know your status as well as the status of your partner. |
