National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) occurs every fall on October 15 in an effort to promote information about and access to HIV testing and treatment focused on the Hispanic and Latinx communities, who are disproportionately impacted by HIV.
Tammy Ayala, intensive case manager for Empath Partners in Care (EPIC), spoke to Greatist.com about barriers to care for the Hispanic population and the importance of HIV testing and treatment.
