October 15 is National Latinx HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and this year’s theme seeks to answer an important question: “Should you get tested for HIV? Yes!” Marked each year since 2003, #NLAAD promotes effective ways to prevent, treat, and stop the spread of HIV among Latinos.
This year’s focus is to promote HIV testing. An estimated 170,000 people in the United States are living with HIV and unaware of their status. This gap in diagnosis delays access to life-saving treatment and increases the risk of unknowingly transmitting the virus. At Chase Brexton, we offer free, fast, confidential HIV testing at each of our centers daily – learn more at www.chasebrexton.org/POWER and https://lnkd.in/eCcXDVy5 health

Start Treatment. Stick to It. Get Better.
This year’s National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day theme is more than medical guidance. It is empowerment through action.
Since 2003, NLAAD has amplified Latinx voices and strengthened awareness around HIV prevention and care.
At Warm Health Technology, we stand with the Latinx community to ensure every person living with HIV can access care without fear or stigma.
If someone in your community has been a voice for awareness, tag them or share how they have made a difference.

The CDC recommends that everyone between the ages of 13-64 get tested for HIV at least once in their lifetime. Yet, almost 55% of Latinos have never been tested.
National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (#NLAAD) is a reminder of the importance of ensuring all communities have access to testing, prevention, and treatment that meets them where they are and as they are. So no community, no person is left behind. 💖

This Wednesday is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day, a time to honor resilience, amplify education, and continue the fight for health equity in our communities.
Our very own Director of Nursing Workforce Gabby Brito was featured by ANAC to share what this day means to her and why she’s dedicated her career to ending HIV.
“As a Hispanic nurse, this day is a powerful reminder that unity changes the way we fight. By meeting people where they are and walking alongside them, we can make a difference—one life at a time.” ❤️

National Latine AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD)
2025-10-15 | Yaya Por Vida, Port St. Lucie, FL, 34953, United States
Today is National Latine AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) and the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month. We honor the resilience of the Latine community while demanding culturally and linguistically competent HIV/AIDS care.
The Disparity is Unacceptable:Latine individuals continue to be disproportionately impacted, accounting for 28% of all new HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2021. Even more alarming, HIV diagnoses increased by 24% for Latine people between 2010 and 2022, while the overall national rate declined (KFF).
The Barrier is Systemic:
Lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate care, immigration status, economic insecurity, and discrimination are the core barriers. These failures translate to:
Only 62% of Latine people with diagnosed HIV were linked to care (compared to 70% of non-Latine White people).
Only 54% of Latine people achieved viral suppression (compared to 65% of non-Latine White people). (CDC)
HIV does not have to progress to AIDS. When the system fails to provide equitable care, it is a failure of justice.
Hoy es el Día Nacional Latino
e de Concientización sobre el SIDA y el último día del Mes de la Herencia Hispana. Honramos la resiliencia de la comunidad Latine mientras exigimos una atención para el VIH/SIDA que sea cultural y lingüísticamente competente.
La Disparidad es Inaceptable: La comunidad Latine sigue siendo impactada de manera desproporcionada, representando el 28% de todos los nuevos diagnósticos de VIH en EE. UU. en 2021. Aún más alarmante, los diagnósticos de VIH aumentaron un 24% en la población Latine entre 2010 y 2022, mientras que la tasa nacional general disminuyó (KFF).
La Barrera es Sistémica:
La falta de atención cultural y lingüísticamente apropiada, el estatus migratorio, la inseguridad económica y la discriminación son barreras fundamentales. Estas fallas se traducen en:
Solo el 62% de las personas Latine con diagnóstico de VIH fueron vinculadas a la atención.
Solo el 54% de las personas Latine lograron la supresión viral. (CDC)
El VIH no tiene por qué progresar a SIDA. Cuando el sistema no ofrece atención equitativa, es una falla de la justicia.

Este 15 de octubre se conmemora el Día Nacional Latino de Concientización sobre el Sida (NLAAD), pero la urgencia es ahora.

El mensaje clave este año es: ¿Debería hacerme la prueba del VIH? Y la respuesta es simple, pero contundente… ¡Sí!

La comunidad latina en EE.UU. es una de las más afectadas por el VIH, y la prueba es tu puerta de entrada al tratamiento efectivo.

2025-10-15 | Long Beach Department of Health & Human Services, 2525 Grand Avenue, Long Beach, CA, United States
October 15 is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD). On #NLAAD, we highlight the disproportionate impact of HIV on our Hispanic/Latinx community. This #NLAAD, let’s promote HIV testing, stop HIV stigma, and mobilize community efforts to prevent, treat, and stop the spread of HIV among Hispanic/Latinx individuals.

If HIV is not treated, it can progress to AIDS. It is important that we quickly link those living with HIV to care and treatment to live long healthier lives and achieve an undetectable viral load- where the virus in your blood is so low that it can’t be detected and cannot be transmitted to others. While we’ve made significant strides in the fight against HIV/AIDS, there’s still work to do.

2025-10-15 | Bienestar Human Services, 5326 E Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, United States
October 15, National Latino AIDS Awareness Day, is a key date for Bienestar

Why is this date important for Bienestar in 2025?

It highlights the reality of HIV in the Latino community

Although there have been advances, Latinos continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV. This date allows for education, breaking stigmas, and promoting prevention in a culturally relevant context.

It reinforces community commitment

Bienestar has been a pillar in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Latino communities. Actively participating in this date strengthens its leadership and connection with the community.

An opportunity to promote key services

It’s an ideal moment to raise awareness about services such as:

Free and rapid HIV testing

Access to PrEP and PEP

Support for people living with HIV

Sexual education and prevention

A space for Latino stories and voices

Testimonies from individuals like Ángel (whom you support) can be shared to show how access to services and compassionate support can transform lives.

It strengthens partnerships and media visibility

In 2025, with greater presence in media and social networks, Bienestar can use this date to amplify its message, collaborate with other organizations, and reach new audiences

October 15 marks National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD), a nationwide community initiative that promotes HIV testing, prevention, and access to HIV treatment within diverse communities, addressing the unique health challenges faced by the Hispanic/Latino population.

In 2025, NLAAD centers its efforts on HIV testing, recognizing it as a critical step in ending the epidemic. An estimated 170,000 people in the United States are living with HIV and unaware of their status. This gap in diagnosis delays access to life-saving treatment and increases the risk of unknowingly transmitting the virus.

By promoting testing, NLAAD aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and empower individuals to take control of their health.

Call 734-544-6700 to schedule a free HIV test! We can also help with STI testing, PrEP, PEP, pregnancy testing, birth control, vaccinations, and more!

Hoy, 15 de octubre, The Well Project conmemora el Día Nacional Latino para la Concientización del SIDA (#NLAAD), una movilización comunitaria que promueve métodos eficaces de prevención y tratamiento del VIH entre comunidades latinas. ➡️ nlaad.org/
El enfoque de este año son las #pruebasdelvih. Se estima que 170,000 personas en EE.UU. viven con VIH y desconocen su estado. Esta brecha en los diagnósticos retrasa el acceso a tratamientos que salvan la vida y aumenta las probabilidades de transmisión del VIH.
Entre los factores cruciales para las comunidades latinas se incluyen:
✴️ Entre las personas viviendo con VIH, las #mujeres latinas tienen tres veces más probabilidades de ser diagnosticadas con VIH que las mujeres blancas
✴️ La persecución injusta y cruel actual contra les inmigrantes latines por la administración estadounidense podría causar temor a hacerse la prueba del VIH o a divulgar su condición
✴️ La falta de materiales educativos y de promoción de recursos sobre el VIH en un idioma que una persona puede entender o leer es una barrera a la concientización sobre el #VIH

Today October 15 is National Latinx HIV and AIDS Awareness Day ( #NLAAD ), and I want to honor the life @ceciliagentili72 and countless other Latine advocates, organizers, artists, and community members like @labamby @raifderrazi @granvarones @the_wall_las_memorias !! Cecilia helped shift care and resources needed for sex workers , helped decriminalized sex work, advocated for migrant undocumented people, and led so many efforts for Trans health care and HIV/AIDS care. She was also a badass artist, writer, and performer. I want to remember her in this photo taken by @oscmdiaz 🌹 In these times when medical care and access is being stripped & defunded for many of our communities I lean into the power of community care and resources- which in lowest of times have held us in so many way!!
This years #NLAAD campaign theme is “Should I get tested for HIV? Yes!” ❤️There are so many local community led organizations and clinics that continue to offer free testing. Many of these sites are migrant and multi language friendly. And that’s what we need. HIV prevention strategies and treatments have to be culturally informed, multi lingual for our Latine baddies that speak other languages outside of English, and that are taking precautions to make sure people are feeling safe during these increase ICE raids. In our many Latine communities we still need to address and tackle HIV stigma- which gets in the way of folks getting treatment. According to the CDC Latine people account for 32% of the 37,891 new HIV diagnoses in the United States in 2022. And this percentage continues to increase . Not only do we need to do our part to get tested but we need to encourage our community members to get tested too. And it doesn’t stop there, we also need to continue to address all the barriers in health care that contribute to the HIV epidemic among Latine people. It means better health policies, it means more funding, it means supporting and lifting local efforts in the South ( which accounts for many of the new cases).
