National Faith HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

August 29th is National Faith HIV & AIDS Awareness Day (NFHAAD). NFHAAD is a day to engage faith communities to work together for HIV/AIDS education, prevention, treatment, care, and support, and to reduce and eliminate stigma and discrimination.

Reaching All HIV+ Muslims in America (RAHMA) and its partners have led the events of this awareness day across the nation, reaching thousands of people of various faiths  across the United States to take a stand against stigma in their congregations to help raise awareness about HIV. RAHMA and its partners lead the planning for National Faith HIV & AIDS Awareness Day. RAHMA held the first NFHAAD observance in 2017.
