National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NYHAAD) highlights the impact of HIV in young people and raises awareness about ongoing efforts in HIV prevention, testing, and treatment for this population. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that in the United States, 19% of new HIV diagnoses in 2021 were among young people aged 13-24. The CDC found that in 2021, 6% of high school students had never tested for HIV.
