US HR1039

Expresses House support for National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, observed annually on February 7 to promote HIV education, testing, and treatment in Black communities

Highlights racial disparities: Black Americans represent 12% of the U.S. population but account for 39% of new HIV diagnoses, 40% of people living with HIV/AIDS, and 43% of HIV/AIDS-related deaths

Encourages state and local governments to recognize the day, promote HIV testing, and disseminate information that people with undetectable viral loads cannot transmit HIV to sexual partners

Requests the Secretary of Health and Human Services to prioritize Minority AIDS Initiative grants to minority-led HIV organizations serving African-American, Latino, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian-American, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities

Supports funding for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, research, and housing, along with efforts to combat stigma, discrimination, homophobia, and transphobia in affected communities
