First observed in 2014, HIV Long Term Survivors Day honors long-term survivors of HIV and aims to raise awareness about their needs, issues, and journeys.

June 5th was selected for this particular awareness day as it marks the day in 1981 that the CDC reported the first 5 cases and is considered the start of the AIDS pandemic.

While there still is no cure HIV and AIDs is no longer a death sentence and it is preventable. We encourage you to know your status, get tested regularly, and take preventative action if you are at risk.
