August 20 | Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

There is an HIV/AIDS crisis in the South. More than half of all new HIV diagnoses are in Southern states. Even though modern medications should rule out even a single death from AIDS, more than 2,500 Southerners died from AIDS-related causes in 2017.

Today, on Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (SHAAD) is the day we rewrite our narrative! SHAAD gives us all an opportunity to join a national movement to raise awareness, erase HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination, and to advocate for new and necessary resources and solutions to stem the tide of HIV/AIDS in the South.
