There is still an HIV epidemic and it remains a major health issue for the United States.

• Most people can live long, healthy lives with HIV if they are diagnosed and get treatment. 

• For a variety of reasons, certain populations bear a disproportionate burden of HIV. 

• People across the Nation deserve access to tools and education to prevent HIV transmission. 

• Every person diagnosed with HIV deserves immediate access to treatment and care that is non stigmatizing, competent, and responsive to the needs of the diverse populations impacted by HIV.

 June 27th is National HIV Testing Day(NHTD). An annual campaign coordinated by the National Association of People with AIDS to encourage people of all ages to "Take the Test and Take Control."
