NCFY Recommends: March 10 is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, marked each March 10, is a nationwide observance coordinated by the Office on Women's Health, within the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health.
