Despite tremendous strides in HIV prevention and treatment, Latino, Latina, and Latinx (Latino/a/x) populations remain disproportionately impacted by HIV. In 2019, Latino/a/x individuals represented approximately 18% of the US population but accounted for 29% of the 34,801 new HIV diagnoses [1]. The majority of Latino/a/x persons diagnosed with HIV were sexual minority men (76% of those diagnosed).

Rates of inactivity-related conditions (overweight, obesity, or type 2 diabetes) are both higher and growing faster among Latina women than in non-Latina White women [1,2], and it is projected that more than half of all Latina women will eventually develop type 2 diabetes or hypertension, or both [3,4]. There is robust evidence that regular physical activity (PA) can help prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension [5-7].

Participating promotoras (N=40) were all Latina, with an average age of 45 (SD 11.1) years and self-reported Christian faith (36/40, 90%). Participants were experienced promotoras with an average tenure of 3.7 (SD 4.6) years (Table 1).

Metabolic disease conditions are a major health concern for Latina immigrants. Findings from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (N=16,415) indicate that 45% of first-generation Latina immigrants (ie, Latinas born outside of the United States) are obese [1] and 17% have type 2 diabetes [2]. In comparison, national surveys estimate the prevalence of these conditions as 38% and 7%, respectively, among non-Latina White women and 40% and 9% among the US population as a whole [3,4].

In another study, 70% of the 287 Latina women in a community-based sample delayed seeking needed physical health care; furthermore, having depression or anxiety was associated with 3.1 times greater odds of delaying needed health care (95% CI 1.6-5.9) [3]. Therefore, for Latina women, the consequences of untreated depression and anxiety threaten both physical and mental health.
The prevalence of depression is higher among Latina women than among Latino men in the United States [4,5], as it is globally [6].

Chlamydia rates for Latina adolescents are 17.8 per 1000 adolescents compared with 14.3 per 1000 white female adolescents [2]. Latino adolescents also have higher rates of chlamydia compared with white male adolescents, 41.4 versus 26.6 per 1000, respectively [2].
