Black people face racism, discrimination and mistrust in the health care system. This means they are less likely to seek treatment and care for HIV. This Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, let’s stop the stigma around HIV. Schedule an appointment with your doctor to talk about testing and prevention. You can also get an at-home HIV test to check your status in your own space. #BlackHealthMatters #HIVAwareness #StopHIVStigma #KnowYourStatus #HealthEquity

Did you know that although Black/African Americans represent almost 13 percent of the U.S. population, in 2019 they accounted for 42.1 percent of #HIV infection cases. In 2020, African Americans were 7.8 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV infection, as compared to the white population. Once people contract HIV, they have it for life. But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled. People with HIV who receive effective HIV treatment like the #qualitycare that Broadway House for Continuing Care provides, they can live long, healthy lives. Awareness is key! #StopHIVTogether

With the remarkable advancements in HIV care and treatment, it is our collective responsibility to dispel every myth about HIV and combat stigma surrounding HIV. Let us embrace accurate knowledge, break barriers, and work together for a healthier tomorrow. #EndHIVStigma #CIHPImpact #HIVAwareness #KnowTheFactsAboutHIV #EmpowerWithKnowledge #SpreadAwarenessNotFear #HealthForAll #OurHealthOurRight #MyHealthMyRight

The 1980s were an era of glitz and glamour, but had harsh and discriminatory HIV laws lying beneath the surface. These laws still exist and affect people living with HIV today. By educating and raising awareness about the harm and dangers of current HIV laws, we can start to dismantle decades of discrimination and stigma. Join our fight: etaf.org/hivisnotacrime
