Today we recognize HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day. ❤️

We honor the individuals who have lived with HIV through decades of change, challenge, and progress. Long-term survivors have witnessed the evolution of HIV treatment, fought through stigma, advocated for their communities, and helped pave the way for future generations.

Their stories are a testament to resilience, strength, and hope.

Thank you to every long-term survivor for your courage, your leadership, and your continued impact. Your journey matters, your voice matters, and your legacy continues to shape the fight against HIV.

Today is National Asian American & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.

Compared to the national average, testing rates among Asian and Pacific Islander populations are frequently significantly lower. Common factors for this include language barriers and cultural stigma.

According to the NYCDOHMH 2024 HIV Surveillance Annual Report, Asian/Pacific Islander people made up just under 5% of new HIV diagnoses in New York City in 2024. By gender, API men made up 5.5% of new HIV diagnoses and 4.7% of new AIDS diagnoses; API women made up 3% of new HIV diagnoses; API TGNC folx made up 4.8% of new diagnoses.

We are going to continue the great fight to End the Epidemic!
