Today marks the 35th anniversary of World AIDS Day (WAD). So many gains have been made since the first WAD and the start of the HIV epidemic – effective antiretroviral treatment, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and improved quality of life and longer life expectancy for people living with HIV. However, our work continues as stark HIV-related inequities persist. This WAD’s theme is “Remember and Commit”. We celebrate and commemorate the lives of all those we have lost to HIV and commit to using all the tools at our disposal to end the epidemic.
One way to stop HIV is to get tested for HIV. The CDC’s “Let’s Stop HIV Together” launched an exciting initiative, Together TakeMeHome (TTMH), to get HIV self-tests delivered through the mail and into the hands of people who need them most. Get your free HIV self-test today by clicking on this link.
