Black communities in the United States face unique structural and societal barriers to accessing HIV prevention and care services. As a result, HIV has a disproportionate impact on the Black population. In 2021, Black people represented 40% of new HIV diagnoses, despite making up only 13% of the U.S. population. The disparity is clear in HIV prevalence as well—in 2021, 40% of all people living with HIV in the U.S. were Black. On February 7, AIDSVu recognizes National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD), a day dedicated to raising awareness of the disproportionate impact of HIV on Black communities and the importance of increasing access to HIV education, testing, treatment, and prevention services.
