NLAAD 2021
October 15, 2021 @ 6:00 pm
National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) is October 15th. While new diagnoses of HIV have decreased in other populations, that
is not the case in Latinx communities. There are many barriers that keep Latinx from accessing HIV education, prevention, testing,
and treatment including fear, stigma, homophobia, and language. The elimination of these barriers is priority one for our health.
This year’s NLAAD campaign theme is “HIV, a pandemic that has survived 40 years, it is time to end it”. Although we are currently in a
pandemic caused by COVID-19, the HIV/AIDS pandemic is still going strong. Millions have died and millions more have been
impacted by this disease, but now is the time to remember we can end HIV/AIDS once and for all.
VIDA is hosting the launch of NLAAD’s 2021 information and outreach campaign in San Diego at Urban MO’s. Join us to learn more
about HIV health. We will be offering free take home HIV test kits and information.
