Latinos Salud
Welcome to our Florida AIDS Walk & Music Festival Team Page!
We’re excited to be coming together as a team for the 2025 Florida AIDS Walk, happening on March 15, 2025. This year, we're aiming high to make an even bigger impact as we walk to End the HIV Epidemic in South Florida.
Why support our team?
HIV is declining in many parts of the country, but South Florida continues to face serious challenges:
- Miami-Dade and Broward counties rank 1st and 2nd in the nation for new HIV infections.
- Most new HIV cases in Miami-Dade are among gay Latinos. This group, along with their partners, is a top priority for Broward County as well.
- Latinos Salud is the only gay, Latino HIV agency in Florida that provides free, walk-in services. We stay open until 9:00 PM nightly to ensure everyone has access to the care they need.
We serve over 20,000 community members every year, including gay Latinos, their partners, people of color, individuals living with HIV, and transgender individuals.
