“Educate, motivate, and mobilize against HIV/AIDS!” This is the theme of the National Asian and Pacific Islander (API) HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, May 19, a day focused on the fight against HIV-related discrimination and the stigma HIV carries in the API communities. In support of this important day, AIDSinfo has created an API page with many useful links specifically to HIV/AIDS and APIs.
