El 15 de octubre, la Comisión Latina sobre el SIDA y organizaciones en todo Estados Unidos, Puerto Rico y las Islas Vírgenes de conmemoran el Día Nacional Latino de Concientización sobre el SIDA (NLAAD, por sus siglas en inglés) para hacer un llamado de atención sobre el impacto del VIH en las poblaciones hispanas/latinas.
En 2014, había un estimado de 255,036 casos de SIDA acumulados desde el comienzo de la epidemia. Los hispanos/latinos representan casi 1 de cada 4 (24%) casos de las personas que viven con el VIH en los Estados Unidos., a pesar de representar sólo el 17 por ciento de la población nacional. Además, por primera vez desde el 2008, observamos que nuevos diagnósticos de VIH entre los hispanos/latinos aumentaron en el 2014, a medida que observamos el impacto del estigma, la homofobia, la transfobia crear mayores barreras para acceder a la prueba del VIH, la prevención, tratamiento y atención. Dado que los hispanos/latinos son el grupo minoritario de más grande y de mayor crecimiento en los Estados Unidos., lidiar con el VIH/SIDA en esta comunidad es importante para la salud de nuestra nación.
El tema de este año para NLAAD es "Vamos a derrotar al SIDA, Con Ganas", y los invitamos a participar en crear Conciencia sobre el VIH durante todo el año, usted puede comprometerse a una de estas acciones:
- Educarse sobre la prueba del VIH, PrEP y Tratamiento del VIH; luego compartir la información con otros.
- Usar y compartir algunas de las infografías, carteles, banners web, recursos de medios sociales desarrolladas para crear conciencia sobre el impacto del VIH en las comunidades hispanas / latinas.
- Visitar www.nlaad.org y usar el hashtag #NLAAD
- Hacer suya esta campaña usando los carteles que se pueden rellenar.
