Descripción
Sumario:In this article we analyze the negative response against migrants as it relates to VHI/ AIDS in the Mexico–Guatemala border. A transversal study within a border community was undertaken in 2001. From the community’s perspective, AIDS «comes from abroad» and it is considered that different groups of mobile population are their diffusers. For the community residents, the presence of AIDS is explained by the interrelationship among members of the community and members of the different mobile groups. AIDS has become an additional element that contributes to increase attitudes of refusal against undocumented migrant groups. Reducing stigmatism and refusal can favor the exit of VHI/AIDS preventive actions in border areas
