The Mujeres Unidas Contra el SIDA mission is to unify the Latino community by providing a safe environment for bilingual/bicultural support services and education to Latinas and their families living with or impacted by HIV/AIDS.

Mujeres Unidas Contra el SIDA (Mujeres) translated as Women United Against AIDS, was founded in 1994 as a bilingual/ bicultural support group to serve Latinas (primarily Mexican-American) who were HIV-infected and/or affected in San Antonio, Texas and had no support system. Three other groups have emerged from the women’s group, Entre Familia (Among Family) - monthly support group sessions for families to come together and receive support from other family members of people living with HIV/AIDS; weekly support group sessions for HIV-impacted children, entitled Niños Unidos Contra el SIDA (Children United Against AIDS; and weekly support group sessions for HIV-positive Latino gay men who are primarily Spanish speaking entitled Amigos Sin Fronteras (Friends Without Borders).
