Social Media Toolkit

This year's theme is HIV prevention starts with me. With improved treatments, there may be a misperception that HIV is no longer a serious health issue. But people across the United States are still contracting HIV, and women remain vulnerable to infection.

Everyone has a role to play in HIV prevention — women, men, community organizations, health care providers, those who are HIV-negative, and those who are living with HIV. That's why we're encouraging everyone to take action and say, "HIV prevention starts with me."

We have created a set of custom NWGHAAD graphics that you can use with the sample tweets and posts below. Because this year's theme is about what each of us can do to prevent HIV, we also encourage you to use them with your own messages that are most relevant to your followers, members, and partners.

Use hashtags: #NWGHAAD and #ICanStopHIV.

Follow @womenshealth and retweet any #NWGHAAD and #ICanStopHIV tweets that you find helpful.

Tag us: @womenshealth in English, @SaludDLaMujer in Spanish, and @girlshealth for girls.
