🌈Tomorrow is National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day!

At Washington Health Institute (WHI), we honor this day by recognizing the strength, resilience, and contributions of gay men in the fight against HIV/AIDS. This is a day to raise awareness, break stigma, and recommit to ending the HIV epidemic together.

✅ Know your status — testing is care.
✅ Prevention works — PrEP and safer practices save lives.
✅ Treatment is powerful — undetectable = untransmittable (U=U).

We’re here to provide compassionate, affirming care and resources for our community. Together, we can continue to support one another, advocate for health equity, and work toward a future free of HIV.
