Today, Oct. 15, is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD). This year's theme, “Knowing Your HIV Status Is a Good Place to Start,” highlights the importance of HIV testing.

In Montgomery County between 2016 and 2023, the yearly number of new HIV diagnoses in our county went down, but the share of Hispanic/Latino people among those newly diagnosed went up.

In 2023, Hispanic/Latino residents accounted for 40% of those newly diagnosed in the county.

Get tested, get PrEP, stay informed, take care of yourself. ❤️ Montgomery County offers FREE rapid HIV testing for all.

Visit one of our clinics in Germantown or Silver Spring -- no appointment needed for rapid tests! -- or find us out in the community at one of our regular testing events.

Visit DoItForYouMC.org for clinic info and our community testing calendar.
