Black AIDS Institute Launches '30 Days of HIV' Campaign

Black AIDS Institute (BAI), the U.S.'s only national think tank focused on HIV impact in Black communities, has announced "30 Days Of HIV," a national, digital, community campaign to raise awareness, educate and mobilize around the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis in Black communities across America.

"Even though it is not in the news as much as it was a few years ago, HIV/AIDS is an ongoing, and in among some sectors of the Black community, a tragically growing crisis," said Phill Wilson, President and CEO of�Black AIDS Institute.�"Black gay and bisexual men in the United States have a 50 percent lifetime HIV infection rate. Black women still represent 61 percent of the new HIV infections among women."

Launching on May 27 through�National HIV Testing Day�(June 27), this campaign has three core elements: An�Online Community Calendar�to promote HIV and health-related events serving Black communities; an Instagram storytelling series titled�In The Life, featuring community-sourced life experiences of Black, gay/bi/trans men; and lastly,�Daily Actions�-- once a day call to action to mobilize Black communities and those who serve them.
