Each year on March 10, US organizations and groups come together for National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD) to shed light on the impact of HIV on women and girls and to show support for women across the gender spectrum living with HIV or with reasons for prevention.

It is especially important to lift up NWGHAAD this year, since the federal government has elected not to acknowledge the day. Given the long history of collaboration and sisterhood between The Well Project and Positive Women's Network – USA (PWN-USA) – two leading national organizations focused on HIV and trans and cis women, gender diverse, and transgender people – it is only fitting for us to team up and take the lead in assuring that NWGHAAD stays on the national radar!

See below for more about our theme of Sisterhood, Hope, and Equity – and some key messages that we hope will help you prepare for your NWGHAAD efforts.

Stay tuned for our NWGHAAD statement on March 10!

  • Community matters more than ever when care and service systems are meant oppress. #NWGHAAD2026
  • What's one way to face systemic exclusion? By having each other's backs. We are stronger together! #NWGHAAD2026

About The Well Project and PWN-USA

  • We are stronger together! As two leading national organizations focused on HIV and trans and cis women, gender diverse, and transgender people, The Well Project and Positive Women's Network – USA (PWN-USA) have a long history of collaboration and sisterhood. Given that the federal government has elected not to acknowledge NWGHAAD this year, a partnership between The Well Project and PWN-USA is a natural fit to fill the gap.

Women and HIV

  • Women and girls represent more than half of the nearly 41 million people living with HIV across the globe. Further, it is estimated that the global proportion of transgender women living with HIV is 66 times higher than in the general adult population. #WomenandHIV
  • Black women, Latinas, and Indigenous women bear the highest burden of HIV among women in the US. At last count, almost one in five new HIV diagnoses were in women. Most of these women were Black or Latina, even though Black and brown women account for less than a third of the US female population. #WomenandHIV
  • For many women, an HIV diagnosis is only one challenge on a long list: violence, trauma, racism, poverty, caregiver stress, lack of female-controlled prevention methods, limited participation in clinical trials, and other gender-based inequalities. #WomenandHIV
  • Structural determinants of health such as poverty, racism, and gender inequality not only increase women's vulnerability to HIV, but also negatively impact the health of women living with HIV once diagnosed. #WomenandHIV
  • In the US and around the world, women have been innovators and changemakers in the HIV community and intersecting movements since the earliest days of the pandemic. #WomenandHIV
