"October 15 is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day,* coordinated by the Latino Commission on AIDS. This year’s theme, It Takes a Team of Superheroes to Defeat HIV, calls us to work side by side, using our most powerful treatment and prevention options to end HIV among Hispanics/Latinos.
HIV diagnoses are down among Hispanic women/Latinas overall, falling 16% from 2010 to 2014. Despite that good news, HIV diagnoses have increased 13% from 2010 to 2014 among Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men. In 2015, Hispanics/Latinos accounted for about one quarter of all HIV diagnoses in the United States, though they made up 18% of the total population. Today, HIV continues to be a serious threat to the health of Hispanic/Latino communities..."Latinx and AIDS
