National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day #NWGHAAD | MARCH 10th

Theme

Prevention and Testing at Every Age. Care and Treatment at Every Stage.

The Office on Women’s Health (OWH) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services leads National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (#NWGHAAD).

In the United States, about 23% of people living with HIV are women and, in 2021, women made up 20 percent of new diagnoses, according to CDC data. The highest number of new diagnoses were among women ages 25 to 44. Advances in testing, treatment, and prevention have resulted in progress toward the nation’s goal to end the HIV epidemic by 2030.

The theme for NWGHAAD 2024 is: Prevention and Testing at Every Age. Care and Treatment at Every Stage. OWH continues this theme to reemphasize the need to further prevention efforts and ensure equity in HIV care and treatment. NWGHAAD focuses efforts on three of the priority populations outlined in the NHAS; Black women, and youth aged 13-24 years.
