HRES 693 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of September 9 as "National African Immigrant and Refugee HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis Awareness Day" or "NAIRHHA Day".

This resolution designates September 9 as "National African Immigrant and Refugee HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis Awareness Day" (NAIRHHA Day). It directly supports African immigrant and refugee communities in the U.S., which face significantly higher rates of HIV (6x the general population) and hepatitis B (10% prevalence) compared to other groups. The resolution expresses support for raising awareness about these health disparities, reducing stigma, and promoting culturally appropriate prevention, testing, and treatment resources. It is a non-binding symbolic gesture by the House of Representatives, not a policy with new requirements or funding.
