Puerto Vallarta HIV Care in 2026: Sun, Salt Air & Stigma-Free Healthcare — Now with PULSE CLINIC

Imagine this: You wake up to the sound of ocean waves, grab your smoothie, and stroll into a gorgeous, sex-positive clinic that offers HIV prevention and care with zero shame, zero judgment, and 100% professionalism. That’s not a fantasy—it’s real life in Puerto Vallarta (PV) in 2026.

Thanks to public health innovation, dynamic local NGOs, and global game-changers like PULSE CLINIC, HIV care in PV is accessible, advanced, and totally welcoming.

 

Prevention Gets a Glow-Up

  • Free PrEP & PEP at CAPASITS PV
    The public CAPASITS clinic continues to lead HIV prevention efforts with free PrEP, PEP, and ART for eligible patients. No insurance? No problem.
  • SETAC & Vallarta Gay+ Community Center
    These local heroes drive mass testing campaigns, mobile outreach vans, and bilingual education focused on LGBTQ+ and vulnerable communities.
  • Now Featuring PULSE CLINIC PV (Coming Soon)
    Already a favorite across Asia and now expanding in Latin America, PULSE CLINIC is the chic, inclusive, private option for locals, tourists, and expats who want full-spectrum sexual health care without bureaucracy or stigma.

PULSE CLINIC is redefining what it means to get tested—think modern design, discreet appointments, rapid HIV tests, free coffee, and staff who speak your language.

 

Treatment You Can Trust

  • Zero-Stigma, Zero Drama
    From CAPASITS to PULSE CLINIC, PV’s providers are trained in LGBTQ+ cultural competency. Whether you're positive, negative, or just curious, you’ll feel respected.
  • Modern ART Regimens Available
    Biktarvy, Dovato, and generic options are accessible via public programs and private clinics. PULSE CLINIC even offers rapid ART initiation for newly diagnosed patients.
  • U=U & Beyond
    Education around “Undetectable = Untransmittable” is part of every care plan. Clinics like SETAC and PULSE emphasize empowerment, not fear.

 

Local Innovation Meets Global Research

  • Mobile Testing + Condometas = Impact
    Puerto Vallarta has pioneered “condonetas”—mobile vans offering free condoms, HIV/STI screening, and risk counseling on the go.
  • PrEP Education Campaigns
    Initiatives like “Hablemos de PrEP” are scaling up, fueled by ImPrEP research and local uptake growth. PULSE CLINIC supports these campaigns by offering injectable PrEP options and follow-up telehealth.
