October 15th culminates the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and marks the first day of what has become an annual observance in our fight against AIDS: National Latino AIDS Awareness Day.

Our mission is to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS, to advocate for the Latino/a community, and to prevent the spread of HIV infection by building a coalition of organizations committed to HIV/AIDS education, prevention and care for all Latino/a residents of Los Angeles that is focused on the organization of an annual local observance of National Latino AIDS Awareness Day.
