National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day

Today is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD), a day to help stop HIV stigma and promote ways to address the disproportionate impact of HIV on Latinx communities. Racism, discrimination, xenophobia, HIV-related stigma, homophobia, economic disparities, a fragmented healthcare system, and other longstanding barriers are key drivers of the disproportionate impact of HIV among Hispanic and Latino communities in the U.S. To end the HIV epidemic, the nation must scale up HIV testing, link people with HIV to care and treatment, and ensure equitable access to HIV prevention—including PrEP—for everyone who could benefit.
