A "crucified" AIDS activist with the words "VIH/SIDA emergencia nacional" scrawled across his abdomen wears a crown of hypodermic needles. At both the Ministry of the Economy and the Ministry of Health, he dramatically draped himself across the barred entry gates to each location, to show how many Mexican AIDS activists and advocates believe the apathy and inaction from the government becomes a death sentence for many of those living with HIV/AIDS.
