National HIV Testing Day – June 27th

More than 3,000 American Indians and Alaska Natives have been infected by HIV. Think you’re not at risk? Think again – Half of new HIV infections occur among teens and young adults!

  • Organize a Wall of Moccasins in a prominent place, to honor Native people who have died from HIV/AIDS.

  • Watch and discuss videos from Native STAND, or create and share your own HIV prevention videos: youtube.com/nativeStand7
