Today is
Ending AIDS means addressing the inequalities that drive the epidemic. Children and adolescent girls and young women face heightened vulnerabilities, particularly across the Africa region. And key populations including men who have s*x with men, trans and gender diverse people, people who use drugs, s*x workers and people in prisons in all regions face increased HIV risk.

Protecting rights and ensuring access to services for everyone is essential to stopping new infections and achieving health equity.

National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) is observed annually on October 15 to raise awareness about the disproportionate impact of HIV on Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. HIV infection rates among Latinx individuals are higher than the national average. Factors contributing to this disparity include cultural stigma, lack of access to healthcare, and socioeconomic disparities. NLAAD aims to address these issues and improve HIV outcomes within the Latinx community.
