National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day is observed every October 15 in the United States and its unincorporated territories, including Puerto Rico and the American Virgin Islands. Established in 2003 by the Latino Commission on AIDS and the Hispanic Federation, this observance aims to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic within Hispanic/Latino communities. The National Planning Committee coordinates the event, providing local organizations with kits, materials, and advice to tailor their activities to community needs. Local events may include celebrations, cultural activities, and educational efforts aimed at informing community leaders and public officials about the importance of preventive measures and testing.
