ARE and has recently been the target of online threats, aimed at undermining our mission of creating a safe, supportive space for all. As a precaution, our offices will be closed for the next few days and will reopen on Monday, stronger than ever. Local authorities have been notified.

These hateful actions only strengthen our resolve to continue fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and accepted. Here’s how we can stand together as a community:

🌈 Share Your Support: Show that you stand with us by sharing this message and raising awareness.

🤝 Join Us: Once we reopen, attend our events, workshops, and gatherings to celebrate and uphold our community’s resilience and pride.

🛡️ Stay Alert: If you notice any suspicious activity, please report it to local authorities to help us keep everyone safe.

Our strength lies in our unity and our commitment to each other. Hate will not silence us. We will be back Monday, stronger than ever.

🎃 Don’t let the only thing that’s wrapped up this Halloween be a mummy! 🎃

Whether you’re getting cozy with a vampire, ghost, or your boo, don’t forget your protection! Condoms are the best wingman to keep your night fun and worry-free. After all, the only thing scarier than ghosts and goblins is not being prepared!

Come get your free condoms at 1104 Amherst St. Suite 200!

Have a fang-tastic night, stay safe, and remember: costumes NEVER equal consent and condoms are always in fashion—even on Halloween! 🧛‍♂️🧟‍♀️👻

Today October 15th is National Latinx HIV Awareness Day!

This year’s focus is to promote treatment among people living with HIV. Whether it’s one pill every day, or a long-acting injection every month, every two months, or every six months, what’s important to know is that treatment can help to live a healthy life and it is available and accessible regardless of insurance and immigration status. With this in mind, NLAAD’s theme for this year is “Start Treatment. Stick to It. Get better.”

NLAAD is a campaign coordinated by the Latino Commission on AIDS Latino Commission on AIDS.

Hoy, 15 de octubre, es el Día Nacional de Concientización sobre el VIH entre los latinos

El objetivo de este año es promover el tratamiento entre las personas que viven con el VIH. Ya sea una pastilla al día o una inyección de acción prolongada cada mes, cada dos meses o cada seis meses, lo importante es saber que el tratamiento puede ayudar a vivir una vida saludable y está disponible y accesible independientemente del seguro y el estado migratorio. Con esto en mente, el tema de NLAAD para este año es "Iniciar el tratamiento. Apégate a ello, mejora".
