We’ll Defeat AIDS Con Ganas! – Raleigh, NC

Join community based organizations, community members, and advocates from across North Carolina to commemorate National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day. We’ll remember those we’ve lost, but also look to the future toward the policies needed to address HIV disparities in the Latinx Closing the Medicaid gap is one tool that would help address disparities and provide access to healthcare for over a thousand North Carolinians living with HIV.

October 15 marks the 16th year for National Latinx HIV Awareness DAY (NLAAD), a national HIV testing and treatment community mobilization initiative targeted at Latinx in the United States and the Diaspora. NLAAD was founded in 2003 as a national national community mobilization and social marketing campaign to unite the Hispanic/Latino community in efforts to raise HIV awareness, promotion of HIV testing, prevention, and education. Our theme this year is “We’ll Defeat AIDS con Ganas.” We want to integrate key elements of HIV prevention, knowing your status, and treatment adherence in order to see an end all goal where non of our community members receive an AIDS diagnosis.
