Latine communities continue to experience a disproportionate share of new HIV diagnoses, driven by barriers to testing, prevention methods like PrEP, and culturally competent care. We will keep fighting to make sure people with HIV are treated fairly under the law and can access the care they need.

Decades of medical progress have advanced care options for those with HIV – but stigma continues to shape who feels safe getting tested, accessing prevention tools like PrEP, and receiving ongoing care. We believe ending that stigma is part of the broader fight for equality.
