Each month, we feature select National Health Observances (NHOs) that align with our priorities for improving health across the United States. In July, we are raising awareness about HIV stigma and viral hepatitis.
Below, you’ll find links to resources to help you promote these NHOs.
- Zero HIV Stigma Day (7/21)
Zero HIV Stigma Day is observed each year on July 21 to raise awareness about HIV stigma. Check out this resource from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — and use their social media toolkit to challenge HIV stigma in your community. Educate yourself about HIV by reading these personal stories from people who are living with HIV. Share MyHealthfinder’s resources to help people get tested for HIV and discover questions to ask the doctor about HIV testing. Finally, review this list of Healthy People 2030 evidence-based resources related to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
- World Hepatitis Day (7/28)
The World Hepatitis Alliance celebrates World Hepatitis Day as a time to educate about viral hepatitis. Use their campaign materials to help raise awareness online and with your networks. Get information about viral hepatitis from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). You can also share our MyHealthfinder resources to encourage people to get screened for Hepatitis C and stay protected against Hepatitis B. And be sure to check out the Healthy People 2030 evidence-based resources on viral hepatitis to help lower the rates of infectious disease in your community.
We hope you’ll use these resources to help spread the word about these important NHOs. Together, we can work toward a healthier nation!
