Popis:	Health access issues and dynamics of health access for Latinos living with HIV on the U.S.-Mexico border have not been wellcharacterized. Health service utilization and related issues unique to seropositive HIV Latino populations were explored and findings are presented from two focus groups with Mexican women and men living with HIV in the San Diego/Tijuana U.S.-Mexico border. Cross-cutting border issues (same as Trans-border issues) included lack of continuity in HIV treatment options in Mexico, provider and social stigma of AIDS patients in Mexico, and fears of crossing the border to the U.S. for appointments. Findings indicate a need for coordinated binational efforts at HIV/AIDS research and services for border region inhabitants.
