September 27 is National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
September 27 is the annual observance of National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, which serves to highlight the continuing impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic among gay men. Gay and bisexual men are more severely affected by HIV than any other group in the United States. According to CDC, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2% of the U.S. population but accounted for 63% of estimated new HIV infections in 2010.
