MXDuring June 2026, Mexico City will host free HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing services as part of the Pride Month celebrations. The initiative involves mobile units and fixed modules operated by government institutions and civil collectives to provide immediate access to medical diagnostics. These tests include for HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis C, with results available within 20 minutes and accompanied by psychological counseling if needed. Specialized clinics in Cuauhtémoc and Iztapalapa will offer these tests throughout the year but will extend their operating hours during Pride events. The program aims to remove barriers to healthcare access, ensuring confidentiality and affordability. Additional support comes from the Institute of Youth (INJUVE) and mobile health units stationed at strategic locations like Zona Rosa and the Monument to the Revolution. Participation does not require prior affiliation with any social security system, though attendees must present an official photo ID.
