NATIONAL LATINO AIDS AWARENESS DAY - OCTOBER 15

October 15 is the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month in the U.S. and marks what has become an annual observance in our fight against AIDS. It is a day of hope for the future of a world without AIDS.

In recognition of the surging new infections among Latinos, different localities and leaders will use National Latino AIDS Awareness Day to promote and sponsor activities on prevention and education.

Others will use the day to make religious leaders and public officials aware of the needs in reducing new infections and caring for those living with the virus.


Our hope is that NLAAD will become a year-round active network that promotes collaboration and partnerships to help stem the tide of HIV/AIDS in our communities.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET INVOLVED!

EVERY EFFORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
