Nobody's talking about it enough, so we will. πŸ”΄

April 10th is National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and young people are disproportionately affected by HIV β€” a lot of that comes down to one thing:

Lack of access. No information. No testing. No support. Just stigma.

That stops here.

Spring begins soon, and with it, a moment to honor and uplift Native communities affected by HIV.

Access to testing, treatment, and prevention isn’t equalβ€”and Native populations face unique barriers that impact health outcomes.

Highlighting these challenges helps ensure resources, care, and support reach the people who need them most. 🀍
