Share the Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign's social media graphics and posts for National Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NAPIHAAD) to help spark conversations about HIV and reduce HIV stigma in Asian and Pacific Islander communities.

CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together (Together) campaign is the national campaign of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. Together is an evidence-based campaign created in English and Spanish. It aims to empower communities, partners, and healthcare providers to reduce HIV stigma and promote HIV testing, prevention, and treatment.

See these CDC fact sheets: HIV Among Asians and HIV Among Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders.

Use the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority (OMH)’s toolkit to spread the word about Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Heritage Month.
