A Call to Center Latino Members of Sexual Minority Groups and Strengthen the US HIV Response

To strengthen the next phase of EHE planning, it is recommended to engage Latino gay, bisexual, and other MSM in all stages of EHE implementation, develop and track performance and outreach metrics, and leverage local data to inform EHE policy decisions, drive resource allocation, and ensure accountability in the development of tailored strategies that meet the health needs of Latino gay, bisexual, and other MSM. Given the recent erasure of vital gender and sexual health data, the visibility of Latino gay, bisexual, and other MSM in national HIV prevention efforts and data reporting is critical to effectively address disparities and advance the goal of ending the HIV epidemic.
