Latinos Salud, an HIV prevention group that began in Broward in 2008, has just opened a new office in Kendall.
“There is stigma when we are talking about sex for Latinos and Hispanics. In regards to dating someone who is living with HIV, there is stigma. As a very big community in Miami, we have to deal with addressing the stigma,” says Juan Oves Jr., the group’s youth and transgender coordinator.
Oves, who grew up in Westchester and West Kendall, recently told the Miami Herald, “I talk to my youth about treatment as prevention, and surprisingly a lot of them don’t know what that means.”
The new office is located at 9580 SW 107th Ave. in Kendall. Call 786-801-1803 for information.
“Stop by Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. for free HIV or STD testing, condoms, and community events,” the group said in a recent mailing.
