H.I.V. in Mexico
The New York Times wrote an article discussing problems of sexual ambiguity in Mexico and how they relate to the AIDS epidemic. Where machismo is a part of culture, and Catholicism is the main religion, homosexuality is not widely accepted. Instead of labeling people as gay or homosexual, the term is "men who have sex with men" or "hombres que tienen sexo con hombres." Many of these mens are married when they engage in these sexual encounters with other men. This causes HIV and AIDS to spread rapidly through the population. To read the article and see a short video clip on the topic click here.
