National Transgender HIV Testing Day (NTHTD) is observed annually on April 18 to recognize the importance of routine HIV testing, status awareness, and continued focus on HIV prevention and treatment efforts among transgender and gender non-binary people.

This April, CDC is focusing on raising awareness about self-testing options. While the availability of in-person HIV testing options has been affected by COVID-19, HIV self-testing options have been expanding. HIV self-testing allows people to take an HIV test and find out their result in their own home or other private location.
