During this reporting period, Casa de la Sal continued providing comprehensive psychosocial care to people living with HIV who face structural barriers to accessing dignified health and mental health services.
In Mexico, living with HIV still implies not only managing a chronic condition, but also confronting stigma, discrimination, economic vulnerability, and emotional distress. Based on national data from the HIV authority (SENSIDA), between 40% and 60% of people living with HIV may experience mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. This reality confirms the urgent need for sustained psychosocial interventions.
Throughout this period, the project focused on:
Providing psychological counseling and emotional support for people recently diagnosed with HIV.
Offering continuous psychosocial follow-up to strengthen treatment adherence.
Creating safe spaces where participants can speak openly without fear of stigma.
Integrating nutritional and welfare support as a key element for treatment effectiveness.
Beyond the numbers, this project has ensured that individuals do not go through their diagnosis and treatment process alone. Participants reported feeling accompanied, heard, and better equipped to continue their antiretroviral treatment with consistency.
