AIDS in Brazil- A portrait in red- From The Economist print edition-www.economist.com 03/13/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
BRAZIL'S government is accustomed to being lampooned for being wasteful, ineffectual and corrupt. Occasionally, though, it does something really well. Keeping HIV/AIDS under control in a country where sex rivals football as the national sport is an impressive achievement, and over the past 20 years the government has done just that. Now, however, the disease has spread across Brazil (see maps). Although the total number of cases remains low at 620,000, representing 0.6% of those aged 15-49, the change in the profile of sufferers is taking the fight to places where it will be much harder to win.

Mexico: HOMOFOBIA- odio, crimen y justicia 1995-2005 - HOMOPHOBIA- crime, hate and justice 1995-2005 / Fernando de Collado [translation of 6 pages of the book] 06/30/07 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
This work concerns many. Nevertheless it should begin as a solidarity offering in memory of the victims of homophobia who are mentioned in these pages. The tales which are woven here are, in part, an interference in their lives; nevertheless, in describing the terrible episodes of hate and violence which mark their terrible end, the possibility of giving feeling to this is opened. Because in this way another call to attention is added to the apathy and negligence with which our authorities and a good part of civil society perceive and prosecute hate crimes in Mexico, be it for the questions which appear in this book or for many other reasons in which the social ill-will and rancor are created. <br><br>

Nicaragua: Homosexualidad todavía es criminalizada-Homosexuality is till criminalized-www.cepresi.org.ni- 04/26/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Adital - Nicaragua sigue criminalizando las relaciones sexuales mantenidas
de común acuerdo entre personas del mismo sexo. La organización Amnistía
Internacional informa que pese nadie ha sido aún procesado en aplicación del
artículo 204 de la Ley de Código Penal de Nicaragua, existe en él la
posibilidad de criminalizar no sólo a gays, lesbianas y bisexuales que
mantienen relaciones sexuales entre personas del mismo sexo, sino que su
ambigua redacción podría permitir el procesamiento de personas por
actividades como el activismo en favor de los derechos del colectivo LGBT o
de cualquier otra persona que le proporcione información o servicios sobre
salud sexual.
Amnistía Internacional considera una violación grave de los derechos
humanos la aplicación de leyes de "sodomía" para encarcelar a personas del
mismo sexo que, en privado y de común acuerdo, mantienen relaciones
sexuales. El actual artículo 204 conculca numerosas disposiciones del
derecho internacional en materia de derechos humanos.

El Salvador: Voice for homosexuals: A hero in the fight for gay rights- news.independent.co.uk 3/22/07 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Indeed, Mr Hernandez, 36, may know that better than almost anyone. As head of a gay and lesbian organisation in El Salvador called the Asociacion Entre Amigos - the Among Friends Association - he has made himself a target not just of harassment and pressure by what he believes are agents of the police, the government and Christian groups but also of repeated death threats. The most recent incident came one summer day last year. "I will kill you before you get married," the gunman whispered.
