September 18 is National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day (NHAAD), a day to celebrate people living long, full lives with HIV and to highlight the unique needs of aging with HIV. ❤️

This year’s theme, “Protect Our Aging Populations: Meeting New Challenges to Live Longer and Improve Lives!”, calls for stronger prevention, research, and care for older adults living with or at risk for HIV.

Today, more than half of the people living with diagnosed HIV in the U.S. are 50+, and they deserve compassionate, comprehensive support. 📊 One way to stop the spread is to know your own status by getting tested! Check out the website in the post for more information about testing locations near you🏡
