National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is observed each year on the first day of spring, chosen by Native communities as a celebration of life for all people.
In 2023, 47% of American Indian and Alaska Native people reported having ever been tested for HIV—higher than the U.S. national average of 37%, but young American Indian and Alaskan Native people, aged 25-34, had the highest percentage of new HIV diagnoses of any age group for all American Indians and Alaskan Natives diagnosed
This underscores the importance of culturally responsive HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care to continue to support Native communities.
We are proud to support Native American Lifelines doing the work here in Boston. Join us on March 29th, from 12-3 PM for an afternoon of renewal, respect, and collective strength!
