Oración y encierro para "curar" a gays - Prayer and lock up to 'cure' gays - by MARÍA ALEJANDRA TORRES and MARJORIE ORTIZ, http://www.eluniverso.com on 05/18/08:http://www.eluniverso.com/2008/05/18/0001/18/4D35CE267F034BD4AD2F5795C316E225.html (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Desde encierros forzados, golpes, burlas e insultos hasta electricidad, fármacos, inyección de hormonas y manoseos. Estos métodos emplean algunas de las llamadas clínicas o centros de rehabilitación para, sin fundamentos científicos ni legales, intentar "curar" la homosexualidad por petición de los familiares de los internados. Hay también sitios donde basan el método en la oración. <br><br> Estos centros también utilizan fármacos en sus "tratamientos". "Me aplicaron hormonas que me cambiaban la voz. Nos ponían videos de hombres y, si acaso teníamos una erección, nos pegaban. Nos levantábamos a las 05:30 y, si no habíamos cometido alguna infracción, nos daban desayuno. Nos aplicaron descargas eléctricas en las partes íntimas y en las manos."<br><br>
From forced confinement, blows, jokes and insults to electricity, drugs, hormone injections and manhandling. These methods are employed by some of the so-called clinics or rehabilitation centers, without scientific or legal foundation, intending to cure homosexuality under petition from the family members of those who are interred. There are also places where they base their method on prayer.<br><br>
These centers also utilize drugs in their "treatment." "They gave me hormones which changed my voice. They showed us videos of men and, if by chance we had an erection, they hit us. We got up at 5:30 A.M. and, if we had not committed any infraction, they gave us breakfast. They gave us electric shock on our private parts and the hands."

Acceso Universal a Tratamiento en Guatemala: entre el "decir" y el hecho-Universal Access to Treatment: The difference between the spoken word and the deed-04/07/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Una ventaja, que rápidamente se puede tornar en maldición, de estar cerca del campo, de las comunidades de base, es que no puede uno quedarse con las cifras oficiales. Entre la desconfianza creda luego de muchas experiencias, y lo rostros de las personas que no coinciden con lo bien que esta la situación desde el discurso oficial, no puede uno hacer la vista gorda.<br><br>
An advantage, which quickly can be taken as a curse, of being close to the camp, of the base communities, is that one can't dispute the official figures. Between the distrustful creed after many experiences, and the faces of the people which don't agree with the good that is the situation since the official speech, one can't turn a blind eye.
