March 10, 2025 marks the 19th observance of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD). Women living with HIV are often underrepresented in conversations about HIV and the impacts it has on women around the country, despite accounting for 19% of new HIV diagnoses in 2022.
Black women are particularly impacted by HIV, representing half of all new HIV diagnoses among women but only 13% of all women in 2022. The HIV epidemic also has a disproportionate impact on women in certain parts of the country; in 2022, new HIV diagnoses rates among women in the South were approximately twice as high as those in other regions of the U.S.
Despite women accounting for 1/5 of new HIV diagnoses in 2022, women only comprised 9% of PrEP users in 2023, demonstrating a significant unmet need for PrEP. This NWGHAAD, we recognize the importance of connecting women to HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care as we continue to make progress towards ending the HIV epidemic.

March 10 marks the 19th National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Women accounted for 19% of new HIV diagnoses in 2022 but just 9% of #PrEP users in 2023, revealing a major gap in HIV prevention.
This year’s #NWGHAAD theme—Prevention and Testing at Every Age. Care and Treatment at Every Stage. —expresses the importance of connecting women to HIV services at every stage of life. While a person’s unique needs evolve, consistent care remains essential in the fight against #HIV.

Women are often underrepresented in #HIV conversations, but the data tell a different story. In 2022, women made up 19% of new HIV diagnoses, and Black women accounted for over half of these new diagnoses – despite representing only 13% of the U.S. female population.
As we observe #NWGHAAD on March 10, we must advocate for expanded access to HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care for all women.
