National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) is observed each year on October 15 to raise awareness about the impact of HIV on Hispanic/Latinx communities in the United States. HIV prevention works — but not for everyone equally. In 2024, more than 591,000 people were on PrEP, yet Hispanic/Latinx communities remain underrepresented. Hispanic/Latinx communities continue to face disproportionate HIV impacts due to barriers like stigma, inequitable access to care, and immigration concerns.

Open Aid Alliance is dedicated to improving healthcare access through inclusive, low-barrier services. We offer free safer s*x supplies, affordable HIV testing, and PrEP referrals to all individuals, free from judgment or stigma.

A huge thank you to our friends over at the The Imperial Sovereign Court of the State of Montana (ISCSM)!

Earlier this month, we were selected as one of three charitable organizations in the community to be honored at the ISCSM's annual Coronation. We are so humbled to have our work acknowledged and to be the recipients of a such a generous donation to help further our impact.

ISCSM works tirelessly to educate and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ and Allied community, while promoting social tolerance through drag performances across the state.

Thank you to the outgoing Grand Supreme Empress and Regent Emperor along with the rest of ISCSM for spreading awareness, tolerance, and joy and for being longtime supporters of our work!
