HIV Crisis on the Texas-Mexico Border

2018 (24m)
The Rio Grande Valley has been at the frontline of some of the most contentious recent conflict in the US memory. But theyve also found themselves at the frontline of another kind of conflict and HIV epidemic affecting increasing numbers of young, queer, latino men.

Brownsville, Texas, a border town whose population is 90 percent Latino, is in the throes of a devastating HIV epidemic. Faced with a weak sex education program, stigma against homosexuality, and a low health literacy level, the citys LGBTQ+ community is grappling with how to address the crisis. On the premiere of LATIN-X, we went to Brownsville for a firsthand look at how the local community is taking on the crisis, and talk with local people there who are living with the virus.
