15% of Latinos living with HIV don’t know they have it.
That’s 1 out of every 7 people.

• HIV doesn’t always show symptoms
• The only way to know is to get tested
• Knowing your status means you can get treatment and stay healthy

HIV is treatable.
Undetectable = Untransmittable.

Don’t wait.
Get tested. Protect yourself. Protect your community.

October 15 is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day.
Use it as your reminder.

Need HIV testing or PrEP info? Call us at 323-993-2997

💖 What a night at Best in Drag Show 2025! 💖
Five queens. One stage. One crown. And what a show it was — from over-the-top glamour to laugh-out-loud chaos, the Orpheum Theater was alive with pure drag magic ✨

A huge congratulations to Bailey Barnum, your newly crowned Best in Drag 2025 👑🔥 She brought the house down and stole every heart in the room!

All this fabulous fun supported APLA Health’s Alliance for Housing & Healing, helping provide housing for people living with HIV — proving once again that drag isn’t just entertainment, it’s community care in heels. 💅🏽💚

Until next year, queens! 💋
