Today is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day. According to the United States Census, in 2019 Hispanics/Latinos made up 18.3% of the US population, or 59.9 million people. Disproportionately, Hispanics/Latinos represent roughly 23% of the 1.2 million people living with HIV, or 276,000.

Hispanics/Latinos are less likely to get tested for HIV because of different barriers and challenges that include fear, mistrust, stigma, discrimination, and homophobia. In the United States, poverty, migration patterns, lower educational level, and language barriers may make it harder for some Hispanics/Latinos to get HIV testing and staying in care.

Several members of our chapter committed to getting tested this past week as part of a national campaign to raise awareness. If you are interested in participating, you can find a free testing site here https://gettested.cdc.gov/.

21 years ago, on December 5th, the Alpha Gamma chapter was founded at Grand Valley State University and since then, has left its mark on our campus through years of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and brotherhood. All of our brothers have worked tirelessly to promote our organization and principles.
21 years later, we are still here making an impact on this campus & will continue to solidify a foundation for brothers to come.
