NLAAD Tucson Additionally, advocating for and ensuring proper care for those who are living with HIV/ AIDS is also a major component of awareness activities.

NLAAD aims to improve the ability of community organizations, faith communities, and local governments to work together in the coordination of delivering HIV testing and education to Hispanic/Latino communities. Concept – October 15th was established in 2003 as National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) in response to the devastating impact HIV/AIDS has had on Hispanic/Latino communities across the country. It was established to draw attention to the critical role HIV testing and prevention education plays in stemming the spread of HIV/AIDS among Hispanics/Latinos. It is a day during Hispanic heritage month that organizations around the country use to promote and sponsor activities that respond to the state of HIV/AIDS among Latinos in their specific communities. Local Ownership – Every locality will organize an activity that will address the epidemic in their communities and make the public aware of what must be done to prevent new infections. Each participating locality is responsible for raising funds needed to sponsor their own activity.
