Our Mission:
Increasing equity and promoting wellbeing for Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities in the South.
We carry out our mission by:
- Providing direct services
- Facilitating information, education and training sessions for individuals and groups interested in expanding our mission to advance LGBTQ+ equity.
Latino LinQ has been providing free Rapid HIV testing since 2015.
One of our main goals at Latino LinQ is to meet community half-way. We use this method to help reduce cost and transportation barriers for our community. Therefore, our testing locations vary and tend to be where our community meets.
Thank you to the organizations that have supported us in the past and to those who continue to stand by us today—your unwavering support fuels our mission and empowers us to create meaningful change in the communities we serve
