AID FOR AIDS
México
About
AID FOR AIDS International established a presence in Mexico in 2004 through the Treatment Access Program, providing antiretroviral medications to people without access to latest-generation treatments. Facing growing needs for prevention, education, and reducing the impact of HIV in the country, AID FOR AIDS Mexico was officially registered as an organization in 2009.
For over 15 years, we have worked to break down the barriers faced by people living with HIV and vulnerable populations in Mexico. Social exclusion, discrimination, workplace stigma, and lack of access to health services continue to perpetuate inequalities that limit the quality of life of those who need it most.
Since 2024, we have expanded our mission beyond HIV to also address child malnutrition, recognizing that comprehensive health requires attention to multiple vulnerabilities affecting the communities we serve. In partnership with the Government of Nuevo León, we work with migrant populations, LGBTIQ+ communities, people engaged in survival sex work, and children experiencing malnutrition.

Current Programs
For migrant individuals who face barriers to accessing health services, especially LGBTIQ+ populations and those engaged in survival sex work, we offer prevention education, HIV testing, and immediate connection to medical care. In partnership with the Government of Nuevo León and Grupo El Roble, we reach directly into the communities where the most vulnerable people are located, ensuring that no one is excluded from the right to information and health care.
Child Nutrition Malnutrition threatens the development and future of the most vulnerable children. Through “Healing,” we provide the nutritional supplement “Nutre+” to infants and children ages 0-12, monitoring their weight and height to ensure effective nutritional recovery. Working with the Government of Nuevo León, Grupo Beryllium, and specialized nutritionists, we guarantee that each child receives the continuous nutrition they need to grow healthy and reach their full potential.
¿Cuánto Sabes? (How Much Do You Know?) 2002-2017
Young people don’t just need information about HIV, they need the tools to become agents of change. For 15 years, “¿Cuánto Sabes?” empowered adolescents and young adults with knowledge about HIV/AIDS, sexual and reproductive health, and life skills.
Through a peer education methodology, trained youth became educators in their own communities. In partnership with schools and community organizations, we trained teachers and peer educators, including LGBTIQ+ youth, who multiplied the impact by bringing vital knowledge to their peers.
Impact:
– 200 teachers trained
– 53 schools served
– 2,000 peer educators trained
– 26,000 youth educated
– 36 LGBTIQ+ peer educators trained
Ámate Indígena 2014-2015
Indigenous communities face unique barriers to accessing HIV-related information and health services. “Ámate Indígena” brought culturally sensitive prevention, testing, and medical care to populations that have historically been excluded.
Working with SEDEREC and the National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples (CDI)/UN, we trained indigenous women in three states and health professionals in Mexico City as prevention facilitators. The key: information in native languages, provided by members of their own communities.
Impact:
– 3,000 people reached in indigenous communities
– Indigenous women trained in 3 states as prevention leaders
– Indigenous health professionals trained as facilitators
– Information translated into native languages
