National Council of La Raza-CSULB Center for Latino Health to Release Report on HIV/AIDS Crisis in Latino Community

“The National Council of La Raza-California State University, Long Beach Center for Latino Community Health, Evaluation, and Leadership Training (NCLR-CSULB Center for Latino Health) will release a report, Redefining HIV/AIDS for Latinos: A Promising New Paradigm for Addressing HIV/AIDS in the Latino Community, during a telephonic news briefing on Thursday, October 19, at 11:00 a.m. EST. [Call-in information below]

Hispanics make up 14% of the U.S. population but account for one of every five people currently living with HIV/AIDS in the country, including a disproportionate number of women and youth. While much has been done to make this chronic disease more manageable for other communities, Hispanics – in particular Latinas in monogamous relationships – are more likely to die from the disease and less likely to receive quality medical care. Combining the Center’s own extensive research and a review of the existing academic literature on the issue, the report discusses the growing HIV/AIDS crisis and outlines a new paradigm for addressing HIV/AIDS in the Hispanic community.”
