“Start Treatment. Stick to It. Get Better.” National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day

(Santa Ana, CA) — The last day of Hispanic Heritage Month, October 15, has been designated National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD). This year NLAAD celebrates 21 years of raising awareness in the Latinx community about the importance of promoting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing, prevention, and treatment, and stopping HIV stigma.

This year’s campaign theme “Start Treatment. Stick to It. Get Better.” is directed at the entire community but focused on people who live with HIV. The campaign urges those impacted to choose one of the many treatment options to maintain health, reach undetectable viral load, and to not pass the virus to others (treatment as prevention). NLAAD is focused on raising awareness about:

  • Getting tested and knowing your HIV status;
  • Using condoms for protection from HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs);
  • Knowing prevention options if HIV-negative, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) may help protect you from getting HIV; and
  • Learning about new treatment options to get and stay virally suppressed, which means having an undetectable viral load, if HIV-positive.

NLAAD is important in Orange County (OC) because there are 7,044 persons living with HIV locally as of the end of 2023 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that there are an additional 1,137 OC residents living with HIV who do not know it.
 
“You need to know your HIV status so you can make important decisions about your health,” said Dr. Christopher Ried, Medical Director, OC Health Care Agency’s Clinical Services Division. “If you’re negative, taking HIV PrEP protects you from being diagnosed with HIV. If you are living with HIV, getting on HIV medication supports you living a long, healthy life and greatly reduces any chance for transmitting HIV to others. Staying in care and having your blood monitored on a regular basis ensures suppression of the virus so that you stay undetectable, stay healthy and remain untransmittable.”
 
While the Latinx population represents about 34% of the total population in OC, this population represented just over half (or 51%) of those newly diagnosed with HIV in 2023. Many had been to an emergency room, a community health center, or their doctor but were not tested for HIV. According to the Latino Commission on AIDS (2021), 55% of Latinx had never been tested for HIV in their lifetime.1 Therefore, it is crucial that the Latinx community have routine HIV testing to know their status, even if they do not think they have HIV. Knowing their HIV status is important to help prevent new HIV infections.
 
Ending the HIV epidemic requires everyone to do their part. Every adolescent and adult should get an HIV test at least once as part of routine health care, and those at increased risk of HIV should be tested more frequently. If you have never been tested for HIV, ask your doctor for an HIV test. Free, confidential HIV testing is available at the agencies listed below:

(Santa Ana, CA) – El último día del Mes de la Herencia Hispana, el 15 de octubre, ha sido designado Día Nacional de Concientización sobre el SIDA en latinos (NLAAD, por sus siglas en inglés). Este año, el NLAAD celebra 21 años de concientización en la comunidad latina sobre la importancia de promover la examinación, la prevención y el tratamiento del virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) y detener el estigma del VIH.
El tema de la campaña de este año es “Comience el tratamiento. Respételo. Mejore”. Está dirigido a toda la comunidad, pero enfocado en las personas que viven con el VIH. La campaña insta a los afectados a elegir una de las muchas opciones de tratamiento para mantenerse saludables, alcanzar una carga viral indetectable y no transmitir el virus a otros (tratamiento como prevención).
El NLAAD se centra en crear conciencia sobre:

  • Hacerse la prueba y conocer su estado de VIH.
  • Usar preservativos para la protección contra el VIH y otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual (ETS).
  • Conocer las opciones de prevención si el VIH es negativo; la profilaxis previa a la exposición (PrEP) puede ayudar a protegerlo de contraer el VIH.
  • Aprender sobre nuevas opciones de tratamiento para obtener y permanecer viralmente suprimido, lo que significa tener una carga viral indetectable, si tiene VIH positivo. 

El NLAAD es importante en el Condado de Orange (OC, por sus siglas en inglés) porque hay 7.044 personas que viven con el VIH localmente según lo detectado a finales de 2023, y los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés) estiman que hay 1.137 residentes adicionales viviendo con VIH que no lo saben.
 
“Necesita conocer su estado serológico para poder tomar decisiones importantes sobre su salud”, dijo el Dr. Christopher Ried, Director Médico de la División de Servicios Clínicos de la Agencia del Cuidado de la Salud del Condado de Orange. “Si usted dio negativo, recibir PrEP contra el VIH lo protege de ser diagnosticado con VIH. Si vive con el VIH, tomar medicamentos contra el VIH lo ayuda a vivir una vida larga y saludable y reduce, en gran medida, cualquier posibilidad de transmitir el VIH a otros. Recibir atención médica y realizarse análisis de sangre regularmente asegura la supresión del virus para que permanezca indetectable, se mantenga saludable y permanezca intransmisible”.
 
Mientras que la población latina representa alrededor del 34% de la población total en el Condado de Orange, esta población representó poco más de la mitad (o el 51%) de los recientemente diagnosticados con VIH en 2023. Muchos habían estado en una sala de emergencias, un centro de salud comunitario o con su médico, pero no se habían hecho la prueba del VIH. Según la Comisión Latina sobre el SIDA (2021), el 55% de los latinos nunca se había hecho la prueba del VIH en su vida.1 Por lo tanto, es crucial que la comunidad latina se someta a pruebas rutinarias del VIH para conocer su estado, incluso si piensa que no tiene VIH. Conocer su estado serológico es importante para ayudar a prevenir nuevas infecciones por el VIH.
 
Poner fin a la epidemia del VIH requiere que todos hagan su parte. Todos los adolescentes y adultos deben hacerse una prueba del VIH al menos una vez como parte de la atención médica de rutina, y las personas con mayor riesgo de contraer el VIH deben hacerse la prueba con más frecuencia. Si nunca le han hecho la prueba del VIH, pídale a su doctor que le haga una prueba del VIH.
