The fight against HIV/AIDS is an example of a global struggle for the promotion of sexual health and the protection of human rights for all, including sexual minorities. It represents a challenge for the understanding of its impact on political, social, and economic processes. My central goal in this piece is twofold. First, I underline the importance of a political and human rights perspective to the analysis of the global response to the pandemic, and I introduce the concept of policy networks for a better understanding of these dynamics. Second, I argue that, in the case of Mexico, the constitution of HIV/AIDS policy networks, which incorporate civil society and state actors, such as sexual minority activists and public officials, and their actions—both domestic and international—have resulted in a more inclusive HIV/AIDS policy-making process. However, serious human rights violations of HIV/AIDS patients and sexual minorities still remain.
抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病是一场为促进性健康和保护包括性少数群体在内的所有人权而进行的全球斗争。它对理解其对政治、社会和经济进程的影响构成了挑战。我撰写本文的核心目标有两个。首先，我强调从政治和人权角度分析全球应对这一流行病的重要性，并引入政策网络的概念，以便更好地理解这些动态。其次，我认为，就墨西哥而言，艾滋病毒/艾滋病政策网络的构建，其中纳入了民间社会和国家行为体，如性少数群体活动家及政府官员，以及他们在国内外的行动，已促成了一个更具包容性的艾滋病毒/艾滋病决策过程。然而，对艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者和性少数群体的严重人权侵犯现象依然存在。
