Civil society organizations have raised the alarm, noting that Quintana Roo has recorded over 5,300 HIV cases in the last four years. Red Positiva has criticized the fact that ongoing prevention campaigns, timely diagnosis, and community involvement remain inadequate in the face of a situation requiring immediate attention.
In 2026, 732 cases were recorded, compared to 746 during the same period in 2025; despite this slight decrease, the state remains among the four with the highest incidence rates in the country. Specialists emphasize the need to strengthen sex education, improve access to testing, and combat stigma: HIV is preventable and, with timely treatment, can be effectively managed.
