There are more than 1.2 million people living with HIV in the United States, with about 50,000 new infections each year.

How are you fighting the unwavering stigma, stereotypes, and shame that are too often associated with HIV in day-to-day life?

As part of its Act Against AIDS initiative and ongoing effort to keep HIV on the radar of all Americans, the CDC launched Let’s Stop HIV Together, a national HIV awareness campaign that works to combat the complacency and stigma that helps fuel HIV. The campaign gives voice to people living with HIV from all walks of life and their loved ones, who call on all Americans to join the fight against the disease.
