NLAAD

Today, October 15th, is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) which was first observed in 2003 by the Hispanic Federation and the Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA). NLAAD is an opportunity to help address the disproportionate impact of HIV in Hispanic/Latinx communities, promote HIV testing, and stop HIV stigma.

This observance is also a community mobilization effort that helps promote effective ways to prevent, treat, and stop the transmission of HIV among Hispanic/Latinx people.

NLAAD brings together communities, service providers, and organizations providing services to Hispanics/Latinxs throughout the U.S. and territories. This campaign is directed at the entire community but focuses on people with HIV. It urges them to choose one of the many available treatment options to maintain their health, reach an undetectable viral load and stop the spread of HIV (treatment as prevention).
