National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is an annual, nationwide observance, led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health (OWH). Every year on March 10 - and throughout the month of March - local, state, federal and national organizations come together to shed light on the impact of HIV and AIDS on women and girls and show support for those at risk of and living with HIV. This year marks the 17th annual observance of NWGHAAD. HIV and AIDS are still widespread public health issues and women remain vulnerable to infection - especially African-American and Hispanic women. Though we've made tremendous progress against HIV and AIDS, today nearly 1 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with HIV, and nearly 1 in 4 of them are women.
