For many Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities, conversations about HIV can still come with silence, shame, or misunderstanding. This National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, we’re pushing past stigma and making space for testing, prevention, and care that feels accessible and affirming.
Knowing your status is one way to take charge of your sexual health. Local organizations like Utopia Washington and the Center offer HIV/STI testing, PrEP navigation, and resources to help people take care of their health. Learn more at uptopiawa.org and gaycity.org/Wellness.
