PLANNING MEETING 2025. National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) has always been more than a campaign—it’s a call to action rooted in resilience, culture, and collective power. This year, it’s more important than ever that we come together to strategize, support one another, and amplify our impact.

If your organization has hosted an NLAAD event in the past and/or is interested in hosting one this year, please join us this Wed, July 9th to share updates, discuss this year’s NLAAD theme, collaborate, and build a stronger national response to combat HIV/AIDS in the United States.

October 15 is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD), a community mobilization that for more than 20 years has promoted effective ways to prevent, treat, and stop the spread of HIV among Latinos.

This year’s focus is to promote treatment among people living with HIV. Whether it’s one pill every day, or a long-acting injection every month, every two months, or every six months, what’s important to know is that treatment can help to live a healthy life and it is available and accessible regardless of insurance and immigration status. With this in mind, NLAAD’s theme for this year is “Start Treatment. Stick to It. Get Better.”
