2026 National Latino AIDS Awareness Day Join us Friday, October 16, 2026, in downtown Sacramento from 6-8 PM in honor of National Latino AIDS Awareness Day as the Latino community mobilizes to promote effective ways to prevent, treat, and stop the spread of HIV among Latinos. This year’s focus is to promote HIV testing in the Latino community. Latinos represent 19% (1 in 5 people) of the U.S. population but account for 34% (1 in 3 people) of all new HIV diagnoses.
