Medication Shortage Support

When you're missing your HIV medications, we're here. No matter what regimen you take or where you are, we'll find a way to get you the pills you need.

Our Promise: You're Not Alone

We know that pain, that anxiety of not having your treatment. We know how it feels, and that's why we do everything possible to ensure you never run out of medications.

Our Foundational Purpose

Medication shortage support was one of our main foundational functions. We started because we knew there were people who didn't have complete access to their treatment at their institutions, and we decided to find a way to help.

How We Help You

Donation Network

We receive medication donations from relatives of people who are no longer with us, most having died from HIV or AIDS-related causes. These donations become hope for those who need them.

Partner Network

When special HIV treatment regimens aren't available in every state in Mexico, we ask our partner network if anyone has that regimen available.

Activism and Protest

If things get worse and don't work, we go out to protest. We go to institutions, to government offices, demanding the medications we deserve by right.

Why We Do This

It's about empathy. We know that pain, we know how it feels, we know that shape of pain of not receiving your medication and being anxious all the time.

We know the fear of not knowing if you'll die from this, of losing your undetectability, of becoming transmissible again. We know that anguish because we've lived it.

"You're not alone in this. No matter what it costs us, but together we're going to solve this medication shortage."

Special Situations

Rescue Regimens

Rescue regimens are treatments that doctors use when people who were taking HIV treatment stop taking their pills and need a kind of medical rescue.

If you're on a rescue regimen and lose your pills, don't worry. We'll do our best to help you.

Regional Availability

Sometimes, special HIV treatment regimens aren't available in every state in Mexico. We coordinate with our network to find these medicines wherever they're available.
