Why are we still Getting Loud?

The short answer is that we still have work to do.

In 2020, we created Get Loud Louisiana, a community-centered campaign and five-year strategy to end the HIV epidemic in our state. It was a fresh initiative to bring all of Louisiana together to strategize about how to end the HIV epidemic. While there is no one solution, we settled on a few ideas to get us going in the right direction:

• We wanted everyone to start talking more about HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), hepatitis C and sexual health.
• We wanted to break down the stigma and misconceptions that surround HIV, STIs and hepatitis C.
• We wanted to lift up the voices of those who are living with HIV and those who are impacted — and make sure they are the ones leading the way forward.
