Advocates for Youth  and its partners direct this observance.

NYHAAD educates the public about the impact of HIV/AIDS on youth and highlights the work youth do to strengthen the fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) leads this observance.

This day is a chance to thank the volunteers, community members, health professionals, and scientists working together to find a safe and effective preventive HIV vaccine. It is also a time to educate communities about the importance of preventive HIV vaccine research.

This observance was first observed in 2005 and falls within Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

This day honors long-term survivors of the epidemic and raises awareness of their needs, issues and journeys.
