[T]his is not the first health crisis in which gay men of color have disproportionately suffered.
Many Latinos hide their sexuality due to cultural and religious stigma in their communities. New immigrants often experience language barriers that leave them unaware of mainstream public education campaigns. Fenway Health, funded by a federal grant, launched a campaign through social media, gay dating apps and community outreach in Spanish to contact Latino men who sleep with men aged 18-24. The campaign connected respondents with confidential health advisors to share prevention measures, such as PrEP — a drug effective in preventing the spread of HIV if used prior to sex.
