HIV in Mexico
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the immune system, specifically the CD4 cells, progressively weakening the body's defenses. Without treatment, it can progress to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In Mexico, the National Center for the Prevention and Control of HIV/AIDS (CENSIDA) coordinates prevention, detection, and treatment strategies. Transmission occurs sexually, through blood, and perinatally.
