HIV/AIDS in Latino Community Has Reached Crisis Proportions, New NCLR-CSULB Center for Latino Health Reports Findings
Tagged: HIV, La Raza, NCLR, population“A new white paper by 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), Redefining HIV/AIDS for Latinos: A Promising New Paradigm for Addressing HIV/AIDS in the Hispanic Community, notes that HIV/AIDS is a health issue affecting virtually every segment of the Latino population and calls for a “new paradigm” to address the issue. The paper was released during a telephonic news briefing today.
“One of every five people with HIV/AIDS in this country is Latino. While the proportion of new HIV cases among Whites has fallen 44% from 1993 to 2004, the proportion of Latino cases has increased 23% over the same period,” said Liany Arroyo, Director of NCLR’s Institute for Hispanic Health (IHH).”
