Latinos Salud was founded in 2008 to create a safe space for Latino gay guys and their partners to find friends, support, and resources.
Our 30 diverse staff members hail from Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guyana, México, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Venezuela. All of our program staff members are bilingual, and all are certified test counselors, in addition to facilitating other specific programs.
As result, they understand the cultural norms that impact health and behaviors. We also collaborate with dozens of other service agencies.
Miami-Dade ranks first in the nation in its rate of new HIV infections, and Broward (the greater Ft. Lauderdale region) ranks second.
43,738 of Miami Dade and Broward residents are living with HIV/AIDS.

Our programs give guys the skills they need to stay safe from HIV, or to live healthier with HIV.
