National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD), held each year on the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month, takes a nationwide community mobilization approach to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. NLAAD fosters a collaborative effort among school groups, faith based organizations, health departments, hospitals, community organizations and many others, to directly reach the communities they regularly interact with. This year’s theme “CON GANAS” is a call to action that encourages the growing Latino/Hispanic communities in the United States and territories to become aware of the disproportionate impact HIV, AIDS, and other health disparities have on their community by committing to speak about risk factors.
NLAAD is a campaign initiated and spearheaded by the Latino Commission on AIDS, since 2003. Events are organized by local partners annually on October 15th in more than 200 cities and 45 states across the country and US territories. NLAAD was established to act as a community mobilization catalyst to prevent the spread of HIV infection, promote HIV testing opportunities, connect people to care, and hold activities that raise HIV/AIDS awareness and other health conditions impacting Hispanics/Latinos.
