Join @NLAAD & @LULAC for a Twitter Chat on HIV/AIDS among Hispanics/Latinx in the US and Dependent Areas. Follow us at #NLAAD.
Hispanics/Latinos in the United States (US) are disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS. They represent 17% of the US population yet accounted for almost 1 in 4 (24%) infections among adults and adolescents in 2014. Factors such as lack of health insurance, language barriers, lack of familiarity with the US healthcare system and stigma often limit the health care access of Hispanics/Latinos in the US, thereby limiting opportunities for HIV/AIDS screening and treatment. Given that Hispanics/Latinos are the largest and fastest growing minority group in the US, addressing HIV/AIDS in their community is important to the nation’s health.

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.
