June 5 is HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day.

➡️ Today, people living with HIV who know their status, take HIV medication as prescribed, and keep an undetectable viral load can live long and healthy lives - but it took years of devastation, care, activism, and scientific advancements to get here.

HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day honors long-term survivors of HIV to raise awareness and fight enduring stigma.

Scroll through to learn more about the history of and how we can all support people living with HIV.

Hepatitis B can lead to lifelong illness, liver cancer, or even death, and babies are especially vulnerable. The hepatitis B vaccine is safe and starts protecting your baby from day one.

Babies have incredible immune systems that are ready to learn as soon as they are born. Infants should get the hep B vaccine within 24 hours of birth for the best possible protection.

Children and adults who are behind on hep B vaccines should get caught up. Better late than never!
