This observance is an opportunity to increase HIV education, testing, community involvement, and treatment among black communities.  The first National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) was marked in 1999 as a grassroots-education effort to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS prevention, care, and treatment in communities of color. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/library/awareness/nbhaad.html
