What Latinos Salud does

Latinos Salud is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community health organization founded in 2008 and headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida. Its mission is to reduce the burden of communicable diseases — primarily HIV and other sexually transmitted infections — within South Florida's LGBT communities, with a specific focus on Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). The organization operates four full-time brick-and-mortar locations across Miami-Dade and Broward counties (Wilton Manors, North Miami, Miami Beach, and Miami Southwest), supplemented by mobile outreach and 200+ late-night testing shifts annually.

The service portfolio spans the full prevention-to-care continuum: rapid HIV testing with same-day results, lab-based STD screening and treatment, PrEP/PEP initiation and maintenance, vaccinations (COVID-19, monkeypox, meningitis, hepatitis A/B, HPV), Ryan White case management, ACA health insurance premium support, risk-reduction counseling via the DiversiSafe program, and on-site Wellness Clinic treatment for HIV, hepatitis, diabetes, and hypertension. The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean — a healthcare service delivery platform with rapid HIV diagnostics, standard laboratory channels for STD confirmation, athenahealth-based patient portal integration (My Labs), and a self-serve online appointment scheduler (appt.lsalud.org). Operations are differentiated by a 'living room' atmosphere designed to reduce stigma, bilingual staff hailing from 14+ Latin American countries serving as certified test counselors, and integration of 100+ annual Health & Culture events with clinical service delivery.

The business model is grant-and-donation funded rather than fee-for-service: clients receive services nearly always free of charge, while revenue draws from federal cooperative agreements (CDC, HRSA), state grants (Florida Department of Health Bureau of HIV/AIDS), county funding (Miami-Dade County Board of Commissioners), and a structured individual/corporate donor program with named tiers from Community Friends through Platinum (ViiV Healthcare, $50,000+). The organization's customer segments — Latino MSM, persons living with HIV, transgender individuals, and partners of these groups — are reached through community-led go-to-market tactics including peer-led social groups, Health & Culture events, YouTube educational content (DiversiSafe video series), mobile testing, and a Pride Scholarship program supporting future Latino healthcare professionals.

Direct peers

• Pridelines: Miami-based LGBTQ+ organization serving youth, adults, and families with HIV/STI services, mental health, and community programs. Directly comparable in target population (LGBTQ+, including Latino MSM), HIV/STD prevention focus, and Miami-Dade service area.
• Howard Brown Health: Chicago-based LGBTQ+ community health center with HIV/PrEP/STD services, case management, and cultural programming. Closely comparable integrated LGBTQ+ healthcare model with similar funding mix (federal grants, philanthropy, Ryan White), though serving a different geography.
• Broward House: Fort Lauderdale-based HIV/AIDS services organization providing housing, case management, testing, and primary care. Directly comparable HIV/AIDS service stack and Broward County overlap, though with a stronger housing specialization.
• Callen-Lorde Community Health Center: New York City-based LGBTQ+ health center offering primary care, HIV/STD services, PrEP, and community programming. Highly comparable in integrated LGBTQ+ health model and community-led approach, but a regional peer operating in the Northeast.
• Care Resource: Federally Qualified Health Center serving Miami-Dade and Broward with primary care, HIV/STD services, PrEP, and case management. Comparable in clinical HIV/PrEP services, geographic overlap, and Ryan White program funding model, though broader in primary care scope.
• The Pride Center at Equality Park: Wilton Manors-based LGBTQ+ community center serving the same South Florida population. Comparable in mission (LGBTQ+ health, wellness, community-building) and overlapping service area (Broward County), with complementary programming in HIV testing, case management, and cultural events.

Regional players

• Latino Commission on AIDS: New York-based national advocacy and capacity-building organization serving Latino communities on HIV/AIDS. Comparable in mission to address HIV in Latino populations, but focused on national advocacy, training, and research rather than direct service delivery.

Emerging players

• Mistr: Telehealth platform specifically serving the Latino MSM community with free PrEP, STI testing, and DoxyPEP prescriptions. Emerging competitor targeting the same priority demographic (Latino gay men) with a digital-only model that could divert easier-to-serve clients from brick-and-mortar CBOs.

Broad incumbents

• Planned Parenthood of South, East and North Florida: Affiliate of Planned Parenthood operating health centers across South Florida with overlapping services (STD testing/treatment, PrEP, vaccinations). Comparable in sexual health service mix and regional footprint, but a broader reproductive health incumbent rather than an LGBTQ/Latino-focused specialist.
• AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF): The largest global HIV/AIDS nonprofit, operating healthcare centers, pharmacies, and testing sites including locations in South Florida. Comparable in HIV testing, treatment, and PrEP delivery, but a national/global incumbent with a much broader footprint and budget.
