Oct. 15 is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day.
The Latino Commission on AIDS is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS in the Latino community.
In response to the critical, unmet need for HIV prevention and care for Latinos, a coalition of Latino leaders founded the agency in 1990.
The Commission realizes its mission by spearheading health advocacy for Latinos, promoting HIV education, developing model prevention programs
for high-risk communities, and by building capacity in community organizations.
