February 7th is Black HIVAIDS Awareness Day

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness & 

Information Day (NBHAAD), held annually on 

February 7, began in 2001 as an effort to 

encourage African American and African 

immigrant communities to get educated, get 

tested, get treated and get involved with 

HIV/AIDS prevention. The day is a national 

mobilization initiative to come together in unity 

to respond to the crisis of HIV/AIDS that is 

impacting the African American and African 

immigrant communities across America. The 

theme for NBHAAD 2014 is, “I Am My 

Brother/Sister’s Keeper: Fight HIV/AIDS!”
