Queremos compartir las iniciativas en las que estamos trabajando para nuestra comunidad hispanohablante y a la vez queremos que seas parte de ellas.
Uno de los primeros pasos es la creación de un grupo de charla y activismo en el este de la bahía (Alameda y Contra Costa), para crear estrategias que ayuden a reducir los casos de contagio de VIH y ETS, el estigma y la desigualdad de acceso a la Salud.
Queremos invitarte a que seas parte de este grupo y que compartas con nosotros tus ideas, propuestas y experiencia de vida. La meta de este grupo es buscar y proponer estrategias que nos ayuden a reducir los nuevos contagios en nuestras comunidades y erradicarlos, utilizando mensajes en nuestro idioma y que sean culturalmente competentes, ¡hechos por nosotrxs y para nosotrxs!

Overview
The Grupo de Charla Spanish language working group was created in 2020 with the purpose of providing information related to HIV/STI transmission and prevention, support, and community-based collaborations to Spanish-speaking agencies and communities in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
Goals
Grupo de Charla’s priorities are to:
- Create culturally appropriate, sex-positive, and inclusive messaging in Spanish (not translated).
- Build a strong network by promoting collaborations with other agencies and community-based organizations.
- Work toward eradicating stigma and stereotypes around HIV, sex and pleasure.
Grupo de Charla’s objectives for 2023 are to continue prioritizing strong collaborations with community-based organizations, increase Spanish-speaking community members participation, promoting the use of inclusive language in our agencies and messaging, and leading a queer Latine-focused community mural project through a grant awarded by the Equality California Institute.
Accomplishments
One of the most important achievements of 2022 was Grupo’s annual National Latinx HIV/AIDS Awareness community events, including a virtual mini-conference showcasing a panel of all Spanish-speaking experts sharing best practices on implementing inclusive language and promoting sex positivity, and an in-person educational and celebrational event to commemorate National Latinx HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The group also adapted the ‘Sexy Lotería’ campaign into the Loteria.Love AC Transit ad campaign to promote HIV testing, PrEP, U=U, and sex positivity. The campaign was featured on 90 AC Transit buses spanning from Richmond to Hayward in Summer 2022.
