Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (#SHAAD)
August 20 is Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, a day to raise awareness about HIV in Southern communities. When we work to overcome barriers to HIV prevention, care, and treatment, we can #StopHIVTogether. https://bit.ly/3I4iYAh

National Faith HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
National Faith HIV & AIDS Awareness Day (#NFHAAD) is a day to engage faith communities to work together for HIV/AIDS education, prevention, treatment, care, and support, and to reduce and eliminate stigma and discrimination.
Thank you for reading, commemorating, and celebrating!
If I missed anything, let me know. I’m also open to posting events of interest to queer people of faith from other traditions, so if you’d like to help me make this list more complete, email me at joncarl.lewis@gmail.com.
