In Mexico, stigma and inequality limit access to HIV prevention tools like PrEP and PEP. Alain Pinzón of VIHve Libre has developed a peer-based, technology-supported program to overcome these barriers. Participants connect via social media, enroll through a digital platform, and access testing and medication either in person or via courier services. Personalized counseling ensures informed use of PrEP (daily or on-demand), while PEP is made accessible even in underserved regions across the country. This model highlights the power of community-driven approaches to dismantle stigma, promote adherence, and scale equitable HIV prevention solutions while establishing a permanent community network nationwide.
