By Dr. Charles Grim, Director, Indian Health Service


Script 3 (mentions March 21st—National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day)

60-seconds


I'm Dr. Charles Grim, Director of the Indian Health Service. March 21st is National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
This first day of Spring marks a new beginning of HIV awareness and discussion.
It represents the strength and advocacy of our Native people. HIV is in our communities, yet many people are unaware of their status.
I urge you to join me and our American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian friends, family members, and partners, 
to raise awareness and get screened for HIV. Testing is available. Treatment is available for people who test positive.
We can make a difference in our communities.
