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!
