As we come to the end of Bisexual Health Awareness Month, we want to thank our partners and volunteers who made this year’s campaign a big success, as well as participants from all around the world who got involved to raise awareness about mental health disparities in the bi community.

February 7, 2013 is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Black men who have sex with men (MSM) are among the hardest hit by HIV/AIDS but receive disproportionately little targeted funding and prevention and care services. Learn more here.

You can also help raise awareness by sharing these infographics on Facebook.

In honor of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month (January), we’re re-posting our Fact or Fiction on pap smears for the viewing pleasure of any who missed it the first time around (or who just want to relive fond memories;).

We also have a Provider Perspective article on the causes, treatment, and prevention of HPV, which is the most common cause of cervical cancer. If after reading you think it’s time for a visit to a health provider, you can use our clinic finder to get information on nearby clinics, or the list of free and low cost pap test locations in the U.S. on The National Cervical Cancer Coalition’s website.

The White House will host a December 1 event at noon to recognize the observance day. Watch the livestream here at noon til 2:00 p.m.

See how individuals and communities are participating in the Facing AIDS photo campaign.

Follow the AIDS.gov blog for news about World AIDS Day.
