Oct. 15 is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD). The 2015 theme is “You & I Will Defeat AIDS,” or “Tu y Yo Vamos a Derrotar al SIDA.”
According to AIDS.gov, The Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA), the Hispanic Federation and many other organizations organize this day. The NLAAD campaign works annually at building capacity for non-profit organizations and health departments in order to reach Latino/Hispanic communities, promote HIV testing, and provide HIV-prevention information and access to care.
