MLAC Overview
The Metropolitan Latino AIDS Coalition (MLAC) is a coalition of organizations and individuals in the greater Washington, DC area dedicated to HIV/AIDS education, prevention, treatment, and research. Formerly known as NLAAD-NOVA, the coalition was formed in 2003 around the first National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD). While originally organized around one specific campaign, the Coalition has answered the call to meet the year-round needs of the community. Now known as MLAC, the Coalition organizes, collaborates on, and sponsors activities and events in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Suburban Maryland for both the general public and Latino service providers.
