RIGHT PLACE & RIGHT TIME.
Testing positive for HIV often leaves a person overwhelmed with fear, questions, and concerns. It is important to know that HIV can be treated well with HIV medicines.

THE CAMPAIGN
I'M NOT EVERY WOMAN
Servicios de La Raza is proud to have the La Gente team partner with such respected organizations like Aids United https://aidsunited.org/ and Vivent https://viventhealth.org/to address the rise of Latinas being impacted by the HIV virus in Colorado. I’m Not Every Woman acknowledges the trials and opportunities that confront every woman in different ways. However, the campaign also recognizes access to information and resources isn’t always equal. “You may see me like other women but I hope you see…that I’m unique and that I’M NOT EVERY WOMAN.”
Our intent is to help Latinas be aware that support is within reach. We welcome everyone to join the I’m Not Every Woman campaign—partners, corporate or nonprofit organizations and together we can beat HIV.




HIV IS STILL A THING
Our intent is to help Latinas be aware that support is within reach.

Over the years I have embraced so many clients that needed my services and I am very proud as well as rewarded by it all. Prevention is key for the spread of any disease.
