Challenge

In Mexico, HIV increasingly affects women, especially young women and those of reproductive age. Gender inequality, sexual violence, lack of access to health services, and economic dependence make them highly vulnerable. Many women acquire HIV in stable, monogamous relationships, facing stigma and limited support. This project focuses on pregnant women living with HIV, who need comprehensive care to protect their health and ensure their babies are born HIV-free.

Solution

Our HIV-Free Childhood program provides pregnant women living with HIV in Mexico with medical treatment, nutritional support, and psychological counseling. This comprehensive care prevents mother-to-child transmission and helps women overcome stigma. In 20 years, more than 1,000 babies have been born HIV-free thanks to this program. With donor support, we can expand services to reach more mothers and children, ensuring healthier families and stronger communities.

Long-Term Impact

With this project, more than 100 mothers living with HIV will receive care to prevent transmission to their babies. Over 100 children will be born HIV-free, and both mothers and children will gain tools to resist discrimination and stigma. In the long term, this program strengthens families, reduces HIV-related stigma in communities, and promotes gender equality by empowering women with health, dignity, and resilience.
