An estimated 122,000 Mexicans are HIV positive and are aware of their status while an additional 24,000 are infected but do not know that they carry the virus. Stigmas and stereotypes make combating HIV more difficult.

Health specialists and LGBT activists say a multi-faceted approach is needed, combining education on HIV and sexuality, free treatment, and channeling those infected with the virus to appropriate medical attention.
