What is National Gay Men’s Hiv/aids Awareness Day?
National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NGMHAAD) raises awareness and raises the public's knowledge of this disease each year on the last Friday in September. The day also focuses on finding ways to prevent the disease.
EnsHIVAIDSAwarenessDay is a national awareness campaign that takes place in the United States
The Centers for Disease Control recommends that anyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get an HIV test as part of a routine physical. The CDC recommends testing once a year and occasionally more often, depending on risk factors.
The day encourages a more open dialogue between partners as well. Improving knowledge of the disease and access to testing can help minimize risk.
Those with HIV/AIDs must be aware of the benefits of continuous therapy. Since HIV weakens the immune system, it is also important to maintain a vaccination regimen.
