Today, June 8th, is Caribbean American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day – an annual observance dedicated to increasing awareness of HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean American community. This is the eighth annual observance of the day, and we want to take a moment to recognize the impact that HIV/AIDS has on Caribbean American communities.Caribbean Americans come from over 30 countries, and many are affected by the epidemic here in the United States and in their home countries.
In a blog post last year, Gregorio Millett, formerly of the White House Office of National HIV/AIDS Policy, touched on some of the issues and shared data on the scope of the epidemic for Caribbean Americans.
