Let's talk: Today is National Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day; links to resources




TODAY, MAY 19, is the 12th annual National Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The theme is “Saving face can’t make you safe. Talk about HIV for me, for you, for everyone.”

The lead agency for this Awareness Day is The Banyan Tree Project – a national campaign to end the silence and shame surrounding HIV/AIDS in Asian and Pacific Islander communities. To help commemorate the day, we've compiled an annotated list of online resources focusing on HIV/AIDS among Asians and Pacific Islanders.
