The Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA) , the Hispanic Federation  and other organizations organize this day to build capacity for non-profit organizations and health departments to reach Latinx/Hispanic communities, promote HIV testing, and provide HIV prevention information and access to care.

The 2021 theme is, "It's time to act. It's time to end HIV.”. 

On Thursday December 1, the Inland Empire HIV Planning Council (IEHPC) and the RUHS-Public Health HIV/STD Program will commemorate World AIDS Day at:

First Congregational Church of Riverside

3504 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501

This event will be a safe space to hear speakers, reflect and honor those we have lost. 

Additionally, FREE HIV testing and information will be offered by the RUHS-Public Health HIV/STD Program from 5 to 8 p.m.

The Strategic Leadership Council plans NBHAAD each year.

This observance is an opportunity to increase HIV education, testing, community involvement, and treatment among black communities.

The first National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) was marked in 1999 as a grassroots-education effort to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS prevention, care, and treatment in communities of color.
