Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) is an
international humanitarian organization,
committed to providing medical assistance to
populations in danger and to raising awareness
of the plight of the people they help. Today MSF
is active in more than 60 countries in the world.
MSF has been working in Peru since 1985.
In Peru, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS is low, but
highest amongst the most neglected members
of society there, mainly homosexual men and
commercial sex workers. Since 2004, MSF has
offered HIV/AIDS care in the slum of Villa El
Salvador, Lima.
