We matter. We Care. Our lives are worth it.
Our History
On June 15, 2006, sixteen African-American women convened a meeting in Washington, D.C. to discuss the plight of Black women living with HIV and AIDS in our nation. The two-day meeting focused on the urgent need for African- American women to influence and set public policy for Black women and girls living with and vulnerable to HIV/AIDS in the United States.
The following year, the National Black Women’s HIV/AIDS Network was introduced to the AIDS community at the 2007 United States Conference on AIDS in Palm Springs California and in 2010 the Network received its non-profit incorporation status.
The Network demonstrates the high degree of commitment, dedication, and urgency needed to effectively plan and advance political platforms for Black women and girls, directly and indirectly impacted by HIV/AIDS in this country. It is our intention to ensure that the vision, expertise, and complex needs of Black women and girls are at the core of national policy that impacts our lives.
