O<\/span>n May 19, the UNC Center for AIDS Research will join communities across the country in recognizing National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV\/AIDS Awareness Day<\/strong>. This important observance\u2014held annually since 2005\u2014raises awareness about the impact of HIV, risk, and stigma in Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities. It also falls within Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, making it a meaningful time to reflect on culture, community, and health equity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVisibility saves lives. On May 19th, we uplift Asian and Pacific Islander voices in the fight against HIV\u2014because every story matters, and every life counts.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although rates of HIV in the API community are lower than in some other groups, barriers to testing, language access, and stigma often mean many cases go undiagnosed or untreated. That\u2019s why culturally responsive care, inclusive research, and community-based outreach are essential parts of ending the HIV epidemic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a research center committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity, the UNC CFAR is proud to support efforts that honor the experiences and leadership of Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the fight against HIV\/AIDS.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
