National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day – February 7 is around the corner

The HIV.gov team is here to help you get ready. This special email presents social media and digital communication resources that can help you communicate on and around NBHAAD 2018, whether you’re an individual or responsible for your organization’s messages and “voice." Your communication needs, our resources. We’ve got you covered. You need the logo and more graphics. The HIV.gov National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) page houses the NBHAAD logo, shareable images, fact sheets, and video stories. We’ll soon add NBHAAD-related images, the CDC fact sheets and NBHAAD web feature, and more that you can reuse. Our Federal Campaigns page (in the Federal Resources Section) has visuals from CDC, VA and others.  You need the theme and the hashtag. Find the theme on our NBHAAD page after the Strategic Leadership Council (the community lead) announces it. We’re using #NBHAAD. Add this hashtag to your social media messages to be heard!   You need the facts, quick. The HIV.gov “Basics” Section has clear and succinct information on HIV and AIDS, prevention and risk, and treatment and scientific advances like PrEP and treatment as prevention. Download our engaging images too.  You want to connect people to HIV testing and services. Our HIV Testing Sites & Care Services Locator is ready to use. Service providers can use our locator widget to add this locator to your site. Show your family and friends the locator and enter a zipcode in the locator to find services.  You need help in planning NBHAAD messages. Review our Guide to Planning Awareness Day Activities. P.S.: It’s not “just” tips relevant to NBHAAD, so we encourage you to save the Guide for reference. This Facebook Live shares tips on using social media use at national health observances. This blog discusses whether you should be using video for awareness day promotion. An appointment with our Virtual Office Hours experts gets you personalized social media support and answers about all your questions about planning messaging for this observance. Book a (free) appointment now so you have time to use the insights you gain.  You want to share the history of HIV. Our timeline of HIV/AIDS can jumpstart writing your content, tweets and posts.  Important! We’ll post NBHAAD-related blogs through February 7; all are yours to share (anytime!). Please check out these HIV.gov blogs posted around past NBHAAD observances, and subscribe for upcoming blog articles with wide-ranging content from our federal partners. Today, as we approach NBHAAD, we offer thanks for your work to bring visibility to HIV. At and beyond this important observance, we aim to serve the information needs of the HIV community.
