National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

May 19 is National Asian and Pacific Islander (API) HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The Banyan Tree Project Exit Disclaimer—a national campaign to end the silence and shame surrounding HIV/AIDS in Asian and Pacific Islander communities—is the lead for this day. This year’s theme is “Saving face can't make you safe. Talk about HIV--for me, for you, for everyone.”
