Black/Latinx AIDS Project (BLAIDS)

The Black/Latinx AIDS Project (BLAIDS) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is a community service project created by the organization Latinx/Chicanxs for Community Medicine (LCCM) in 1991 as a response to the increasing HIV/AIDS diagnosis within the Black and Latino community in Los Angeles area. BLAIDS was initiated by a group of students who saw the urge to help educate youths about HIV/AIDS, STDs/STIs, and teen pregnancy as well as advocate and stop the stigma surrounding these concurrent issues.
