HIV and Latinos

• The Hispanic Communications Network and Farmworker Justice, a capacity building assistance (CBA) provider funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have created a free Spanish-language HIV testing public service announcement (PSA) for community-based organizations (CBOs). 

  Listen to an archived webinar about how to use the PSA. (Note:  There is a 2-minute gap mid-way through the webinar to allow you to separately navigate to the link below and listen to a demonstration of the PSA.) 

  Listen to a demonstration of a Spanish-language PSA. 

  Contact Dagan Bayliss, Capacity Building Coordinator, Farmworker Justice, to receive an electronic-copy of the PSA for use at your agency. (posted December 23, 2011)
