More than 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV, and 91% are of working age. Yet 80% of new HIV cases are linked to people who either don't know they have HIV or aren't receiving care.

Employers can help close that gap by ensuring their workers can access the care they need.

That's why U.S. Business Action to End HIV created the National HIV Testing Day Employer Playbook, a free guide designed to help your company take action around National HIV Testing Day, observed on June 27 each year.

What's in the Playbook?

The playbook walks you through six steps to prepare for National HIV Testing Day, with ideas for how you can:

1. Share why HIV testing matters.
2. Make it easy for employees to get tested.
3. Let your employees know where to get tested.
4. Collaborate with employee resource groups.
5. Support local community organizations.
6. Promote HIV testing to external audiences.

The playbook also spotlights how other companies have already taken action, so you can see what's possible and what might work at your organization.

Finally, the playbook includes an employer toolkit with ready-to-use resources:

• A printable flyer encouraging people to get tested
• An HIV fact sheet to share with workers and managers
• An internal communications template you can adapt for your company

Download your free copy of the playbook and let us know how it's working for you and your team at hello@healthaction.org.
