the Northern Triangle, including at the hands of gangs, law enforcement officials, and their own families. Healthcare Providing healthcare to the LGBT community, especially homosexual and bisexual men, has always been an unwarranted issue in Guatemala. Guatemala struggles with a prevailing HIV epidemic due to the lack of services that should be provided. Nearly thirty people in Guatemala contract HIV every day and men who have sex with men have the highest incidence rate in contracting HIV (ten times). Testing resources are limited to sexual minorities in Guatemala, therefore LGBT individuals are more vulnerable and disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections. Guatemala not only provides limited testing resources but also fails to provide an extensive sexual education program, a program that would also regard homosexuality and transsexuality. Sexually transmitted infections, especially HIV, is a problematic issue in Guatemala because LGBT individuals are engaging in sexual activity without a rudimentary sexual education. Therefore, the proliferation of sexually transmitted diseases increases because sexual minorities are unaware of the dangers of unprotected sex and continue to perpetuate risky behavior.
