The purpose of this article is to explicate research-informed culture and gender sensitive Aids prevention strategies aimed at Mexican migrant laborers living and working in the United States for extended time. This unique and extremely marginalized Latino population is yet another emerging high risk group for contracting the Hiv virus. Counselors interested in applying their knowledge of psychology and minority groups to preventing such an Aids epidemic will be challenged by the complex factors that frame this problem.
