June 8, 2007 makes the second observance of the Caribbean American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. On this day, Caribbean-Americans, Caribbean immigrants and community based organizations nationwide will respond to the health disparities facing people of color especially Caribbean immigrants. It will also be a day of reflection and a day to memorialize and show compassion for those who are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS.

Caribbean American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a national mobilization effort designed to encourage Caribbean-American and Caribbean-born individuals, across the United States and its territories, to get educated, get tested, get treated and get involved. It is also a time to reflect, memorialize and show compassion to those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. It is a day of hope for the future of a Caribbean and Caribbean American community with available preventive health care as a daily part of life and a Caribbean Diaspora free of AIDS.
