National Minority AIDS Council Building Healthier Communities

The National Minority AIDS Council believes national HIV/AIDS observance days offer a great opportunity to discuss the impact of the epidemic in different communities.

However, we should not limit ourselves from looking at the epidemic's impact among different populations once-a-year.

Below and to the left are links to NMAC's past coverage of HIV/AIDS observance days.
