Together we confront it — With knowledge we beat it

To successfully reduce the number of new cases of HIV infection in Puerto Vallarta, including residents and visitors alike, and to assist persons and families already affected by HIV by providing the most current and comprehensive information, counseling and assistance available. We will also work to reduce the stigma associated with HIV infection, thereby encouraging an increase in HIV testing among vulnerable communities. We will build alliances with local, state and national health care policy agencies, both public and private, as well as with local health care providers, local groups and organizations, while seeking the moral and economic support of diverse sectors of society in order to achieve our goals of educating the public about HIV and to reduce the number of those effected.

Vallarta Confronts AIDS is 100% funded by donations...and depends on the support and assistance of the Puerto Vallarta business community, as well as members of the general public who are able to help. We will be forming alliances with national and international groups, organizations, and foundations in order to help us develop programs and obtain funding to achieve the goals of the organization. If you would like to help in any way, please contact Paul Crist at paulcrist@vallartaenfrentasida.org.
