What is National Latino Aids Awareness Day?
Prevention, testing, and open discussion about HIV and AIDS are all encouraged on National Latino AIDS Awareness Day on October 15th.
#latinoaidsawarenessday
Over 1.1 million people in the United States are living with HIV/AIDS, and one out of every seven of them isn't aware that they have it. Throughout the year, awareness days focuses on particular groups and their particular needs regarding prevention and education. This observance focuses on Latino and Hispanic groups.
The NLAAD campaign continues to promote Latino/Hispanic groups by increasing the reach of non-profit groups and health departments. The campaign includes HIV testing, providing HIV prevention advice, and expanding access to care.
Culture, words, and roots can all be barriers to learning about the risks and becoming more aware of the disease. The day aims to crack down those walls and bring more hope to the Latino people.
