Vallarta Enfrenta el SIDA A.C.
(Vallarta Confronts AIDS in English)
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco

Benefits and uses for a van-type vehicle for Vallarta Enfrenta el SIDA, A.C. (VES)

1. VES organizes and produces regular health fairs and other events at which we provide rapid HIV testing, education, counseling, and prevention services throughout the Banderas Bay region.  These events, held in public plazas and parks, as well as other open locations, require diverse materials and equipment; such as tables, chairs, portable awnings, printed material such as flyers and educational material, rapid test kits and related medical supplies, etc.  We also must transport between 5 to 8 persons to the event sites.  To date, we have relied on the support of volunteers who provide use of their own vehicles, or even on taxis when volunteer vehicles are not available.  As the schedule of these events are publicized for days or weeks prior, it is of utmost importance that we are at the advertised location when we say we will be there.  The lack of our own vehicle creates difficulties in organizing and mounting these events as scheduled and advertise.
2. The interior of a van-type vehicle can be (and would be) adapted to perform HIV testing and counseling in more clandestine locations where we also work, (outside of bars and clubs at night, at public Parks and other locations where sexual encounters are either arranged or consummated).  Our experience has shown that persons who frequent such places are both highly vulnerable to HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, and less likely to seek medical and social services in conventional settings such as clinics, and health fairs. Thus, outreach in these places is vital to our mission to reduce infections and get people who are HIV positive into treatment.
3. A van would facilitate transport of patients, who are sometimes quite ill, to the CAPASITS clinic for necessary medical attention.  Transport for patients with very limited economic means is among our contractual obligations with the CAPASITS clinic.
4. The vehicle could be decorated outside with appropriate messages to increase public awareness about HIV and methods to avoid infection.  It would function as a mobile banner to disseminate the messages of Vallarta Enfrenta el SIDA, A.C.
