May 19 is NAPIHAAD.

We’re raising awareness about HIV’s impact on Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities—an often overlooked part of the epidemic. In 2021, about 2% (814) of new U.S. HIV diagnoses were among AANHPI communities.

Breaking stigma, increasing awareness, and expanding access to care matters.
