Asians, Pacific Islanders & HIV: A Special Message

May 19 is National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and World Hepatitis Day. This blog post is one of a series on the impact of HIV and Hepatitis B in Asian & Pacific Islander communities. As A&PIs, you may not believe that you are at risk for these diseases, but you are. Follow our posts throughout the week for different perspectives and stories from our community.

On May 19, Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center's Banyan Tree Project held a press conference on the state of the HIV and Hepatitis B epidemics in our community. Ryan Ong Palao, known the world over as Ongina, sat down with us to film a special message about HIV in our community. We hope you take a few moments to watch his special message commemorating May 19.
