National Latinx HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

October 15 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Today is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day, a moment to honor community and confront disparity. Hispanic/Latino people accounted for 33% of new HIV infections in 2022. Join us in raising awareness and shining a spotlight on these prominent HIV/AIDS activists.

Milani Varela — Afro-Mexican, gender-non-conforming drag artist and Lead Navigator at @calorchicago (an AHF affiliate). Milani provides HIV testing, connects people to PrEP/PEP, trains new testers, and lifts up community power through education and visibility.

Rosario Dawson — Actor and longtime HIV advocate who shares her personal stories with HIV and AIDS to confront stigma and mobilize action.

Javier Muñoz — Actor and HIV advocate who lives openly with HIV. As an outspoken advocate, he centers U=U, fights misinformation, and champions dignity for people living with HIV.
