title: National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day - September 27, 2015.
abstract: National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is observed each year on September 27 to direct attention to the ongoing and disproportionate impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) on gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States. MSM represent approximately 2% of the U.S. population. However, in 2013, MSM accounted for 67% of all new HIV diagnoses, including 3% who were also injection drug users.
