ABSTRACT
In this chapter,1 Langer and Catino write that although Mexico counts on sound epidemiological surveillance systems and international conferences and recommendations that have called for improved health care, there is a continuing failure to bring the HIV/AIDS pandemic under control, while other sexually transmitted infections are emerging or reemerging in epidemic proportions. This is a result of a lack of access to affordable high-quality reproductive health services and contraceptives. This has been blamed on rich nations not fulfilling their financial commitments toward implementing the global health and social agendas.
