On NNHAAD Native people are encouraged to get educated and to learn more about HIV/AIDS and its impact in their community; to work together to encourage testing options and HIV counseling in Native communities, and to help decrease the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS.
How you can help: Organize events in your community by handing out save-the-date cards at community events and organizations in the days leading up to NNHAAD, put Awareness Day posters in clinics, schools, wellness centers or other community locations; and most importantly organize a local activity to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in your community.
