The AIDS Institute is pleased to celebrate May as Hepatitis Awareness Month and May 25^th as Hepatitis C (HCV) Cure Day.  New York State has committed, as part of a larger global public health effort, to eliminating HCV by 2030 as outlined in the New York State Hepatitis C Elimination Plan.  With your support, we anticipate that 2022 will be our most engaging year yet!

Hepatitis C Cure Day is an annual event, during May, that aims to celebrate those cured of hepatitis C and motivate those living with hepatitis C to initiate and complete treatment.

We invite you to get involved. Attached to this email, please find two new graphic designs we encourage you to use in your email signature or as your zoom background, during the month of May, to celebrate Hepatitis Awareness Month and Hepatitis C Cure Day.
