Men Who Have Sex With Men (Itzel_Nataly_Jimenez)

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevalence in Mexico is ultimately low ranging from (0.3-0.4)[1]. However, there is a significant number of cases among adults and children living with HIV. In Tijuana Mexico, men who have sex with men (MSM) are at higher risk for contracting HIV [2]. Tijuana has the third highest cumulative HIV incidence in Mexico. About 20.2% of HIV prevalence among MSM and 89% of MSM are unaware they are HIV positive [3]. In Tijuana only 63.7% of MSM have ever been tested [3].

Female Sex Workers (Itzel_Nataly_Jimenez)

6 percent of female sex workers in Tijuana Mexico have tested positive for HIV due to exposure of drugs and unsafe sex practice [4]. The majority of male clients have reported having unprotected sex and high prevalence of drug use [4]. In addition, UCSD researchers have suggested safe sex protocols among female sex workers who have reported that some of their clients pay more for unprotected sex. UCSD researchers have developed behavioral interventions that improve female sex workers knowledge on the risk of HIV.

Discrimination (Itzel_Nataly_Jimenez)

Since Mexico has one of the lowest rates of HIV prevalence in Latin America 0.3-0.4 percent. The majority of individuals who have HIV are often discriminated against. There is a barrier to testing, which limits people with HIV because of discrimination and accessibility [3]. It is frequently reported that 54 percent of people are afraid to get tested because they are labeled and discriminated against [3]. Mexico has developed steps that strengthen their access to health care services among the LGBTQ+ community. They aim to end stigma and discriminatory behaviors toward people with HIV/AIDs. Also, promote sexual, reproductive health, and HIV prevention. Not to mention, respect the confidentiality of patients who test positive and receive treatment.
