Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day highlights a reality we can’t afford to ignore: Black Americans continue to face a disproportionate impact from HIV; not because of race or behavior, but because of unequal access to care, stigma and other social determinants of health.

Hear from Rev. Arnold A.J. Johnson as to why he believes this day is so important: https://conta.cc/49MU1sG

ANAC is profoundly saddened and outraged by the killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, RN, an intensive care nurse who dedicated his life to caring for others.

We honor his service, stand in solidarity with his loved ones and colleagues, and call for transparency, accountability and justice.

Fight for Florida's ADAP: The Florida Department of Health has announced abrupt, life-endangering changes to the state’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), shifting coverage to directly provide HIV medications only for people at or below 130% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).

HIVMA is organizing a meeting on Tues., Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. EST for HIV healthcare professionals in Florida to discuss the drastic cuts and formulary changes to the Florida AIDS Drug Assistance Program announced by the Florida Department of Health late last week and how we as a community can advocate to stop the cuts and mitigate harm to people with HIV.

Graduate education access isn’t just an academic issue—it’s a health equity issue.

While much has been said about the Department of Education’s proposed list of graduate professional degrees, one critical point often gets overlooked: federal graduate loans are a lifeline for registered nurses from underserved communities. Without them, many hashtag cannot even begin the journey to advanced practice—impacting the future of HIV care and health equity.

The Journal of Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (JANAC)'s newest editorial, led by the remarkable Dr. S. Raquel Ramos from Yale School of Nursing, dives deep into this complex, and urgent topic including:

-Why loan accessibility matters for nursing leadership
-How policy decisions ripple through HIV care
-What’s at stake for the communities we serve

This editorial is a must-read for anyone passionate about health equity, nursing education, and HIV care. You can read it FREE for 30 days at this link: https://journals.lww.com/janac/fulltext/9900/the_crucial_role_of_loan_accessibility_in.227.aspx

The federal government’s refusal to acknowledge World AIDS Day in 2025 is more than a symbolic lapse. It represents a withdrawal of public commitment to people living with HIV. World AIDS Day is an opportunity to honor those lost, affirm the dignity of those living with HIV and reaffirm our national and global responsibility to advance equity in prevention and care. Federal silence on World AIDS Day undermines that purpose and reinforces harmful stigma at a time
when visibility remains critical. Regardless of the actions of the federal government, we at ANAC will remain true to the purpose of World AIDS Day.

Each year on Dec. 1, people around the globe take time to remember those lost, educate others and rally to eliminate the devastating stigma and loss associated with the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis.
