National Transgender HIV Testing Day

On April 18, 2019, National Transgender HIV Testing Day recognizes the importance of HIV testing and continued focus on HIV prevention and treatment efforts among trans people. Trans women of color have disproportionately high HIV prevalence and less access to culturally competent care. HIV testing is an effective prevention tool that can actively engage trans people in their sexual health and wellness while empowering them to make health choices that improve their lives.
