Do you know PrEP Providers that are serving Hispanic/Latinx Communities?

 



Recent data noted that from 2012 to 2015 over 49,000 PrEP prescriptions were filled at pharmacies across the nation.

However, only 12% of those PrEP users were Latino/Hispanic. Understanding that this low percentage of users among Latinos/Hispanics is directly affected by the individual's immigration status, stigma, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Approximately, one quarter of all estimated new HIV diagnoses in 2015 were Latino. From 2010 to 2014, estimated annual HIV infections increased 14% (from 6,400 to 7,300) among Hispanic/Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.

Understanding this data, we must do better at reaching Hispanic/Latinx communities. We're looking to develop a list of PrEP providers throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We're respectfully request your assistance to identify the name of medical providers, clinics, community centers who are providing services to Latino communities. To complete a brief form, please go
