National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day 2025
2025-10-15 | Internet
Today is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD)! 🎗️ This year’s theme: “Should I get tested for HIV? Yes!” Join us in promoting HIV awareness and prevention in Latinx communities.
📊 HIV disparities persist for Hispanic/Latinx communities:
• In 2023, there were 39,182 new HIV diagnoses in the U.S. Hispanic/Latinx people accounted for 32% of new HIV diagnoses, despite making up only ~19% of the U.S. population.
• In 2023, Hispanic/Latinx people represented 31% of new HIV diagnoses but only 18% of PrEP users.
We must address these inequities to #EndTheEpidemic. Expanding access to testing, treatment, and PrEP through culturally competent strategies is crucial. Together, we can work to increase HIV awareness, dispel HIV stigma, and end the epidemic!

NLAAD
2025-10-15 | Washtenaw County Health Department, 555 Towner St, Ypsilanti, MI, United States
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!
