Integrating mental health support into HIV treatment improves retention in care and viral suppression, especially in Black communities, because true healing addresses both the body and the mind.What’s one thing you wish more people understood about mental health and HIV?

Black Pride is not just a party — it's a powerful declaration.

It’s where melanin meets magic, and queerness meets community. It's our space to shine, uplift, and live out loud.

🖤 Did You Know?

In 2023, Black women in the U.S. faced a maternal mortality rate nearly 3.5 times that of white women.

This Black Maternal Health Week, United We Rise joins the call to action:

Black women make up 50% of new HIV diagnoses among women, facing a risk 10x higher than White women—yet their needs are often overlooked.

Today, #NWGHAAD, let’s demand better healthcare and uplift Black women’s voices.

This day shines a light on the injustice of HIV criminalization and amplifies the voices of those impacted by these laws.

In over 30 states, people are still being imprisoned simply for their HIV status. It’s time to stand up and speak out against these laws that punish people living with HIV.

Today is #HIVIsNotaCrime Awareness Day.

In more than two dozen U.S. states, people living with HIV can be imprisoned due to their status.

HIV criminalization laws are a form of anti-Black structural homophobia as they disproprotionately impact Black same gender loving men.
